Sacramento Red Dress Party

The color red, found on the red ribbon worn around the lapel of people around the world, is commonly accepted as the international symbol of HIV/AIDS awareness. The Sacramento Red Dress Party uses that symbol to build on a party concept popularized with sell out events attended by thousands annually in Portland and Seattle over the last decade to raise awareness and funds to support organizations engaged in HIV/AIDS prevention, education, and care. The required wearing of a red dress by all guests at this event, regardless of age, gender, or sexual orientation, servers as a powerful symbol of solidarity with people living with HIV/AIDS and also reminds us that we are all brought together for one night to support a common cause. The Sacramento Red Dress Party is designed to become an annual community tradition debuting October 6th, 2012, one that attracts more than 400 people as diverse as Sacramento itself. This event creates an atmosphere of pure fun–with dancing and music, spirits and laughs–that provides a backdrop for the true purpose of the Red Dress Party, a chance for supporters from every walk of life to unite behind one goal to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic. With every single attendee adorned in a signature-colored red dress, the Sacramento Red Dress Party, the power of our collective statement of positive change will be unmistakable. “Red Dress Required, Attitude Optional” This year’s Sacramento Red Dress Party will feature two guest DJs never before seen in Sacramento--DJ GRIND and DJ Lee Decker, live performances, crowd performers, go-go boys/girls, and much more throughout the evening.
