Let’s be mindful of phone use on the dance floor please. At SKANK & Starlight Disco we honour and pay homage to the black/latino/trans+ queer community. These spaces would not exist without the work and presence of queer people. This event is by the community and for the community!

A different theme every month from Ottawa’s trailblazing literary salon — since July 2017. \n\n\n\nOut of the closet and onto the page\, our August show highlights the importance of queer representation with a selection of recent works featuring LGBT+ characters! It includes several readings by authors from the Ottawa-Gatineau area. \n\n\n\nWe regret that the venue is inaccessible to some people.
