We were so thrilled with the turnout the last three years\, and the amount of donated affirming and accessible formal and business wear! So we have made this an annual event\, and have moved it back to Pride Week in Ottawa!  We will be serving mocktails\, so no alcohol will be served by Kind Space at this event. \n\n\n\nThis event has a broad dress code including our theme of Galaxy or Stars\, or semi-formal; cocktail attire; business casual clothing. The Dress Code is not manditory\, and we want you to wear whatever makes YOU feel comfortable\, elevated or fancy. But you deserve an excuse to dress\, impress\, and enjoy a nice evening without needing to spend money.  \n\n\n\nWe also recognize that not all 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals have access to affordable gender affirming formal or semi-formal clothing\, but may have a desire to wear or own such clothing. This is why every year Kind Space seeks donations for business and formal attire for our “Out of the Closet” clothing space to provide a selection of these affirming garments to be accessible to those who need it. So either it be a nice outfit for a job interview\, a dear friends wedding\, or any occasion that requires pazzaz\, we will still take it. You can donate anytime during our Drop-In operational hours of 12PM-6PM Wednesday to Friday. You can also drop these donations off anytime before\, or during the event. Thank you! \n\n\n\nQuestions can be sent to programming@kindspace.ca URL:https://maxottawa.ca/list/all-of-the-gay-soiree-iv-under-the-stars/ LOCATION:Kind Space\, 400 Cooper St. suite 9001\, Ottawa\, Ontario\, K2P 2N1\, Canada CATEGORIES:Nightlife,Ottawa,Parties,Pride,Social ORGANIZER;CN="Kind Space":MAILTO:carling@kindspace.ca END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20250805T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20250805T213000 DTSTAMP:20250724T025328Z CREATED:20250723T022632Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250724T025328Z UID:10003276-1754416800-1754429400@maxottawa.ca SUMMARY:HOWL: Social Night DESCRIPTION:Bound on in to the monthly Howl social!

His work\, shaped by a dynamic mix of influences and interactions with people and places\, bridges the pulse of dance culture with a forward-thinking approach that pushes boundaries and discovers new textures. \n\n\n\nHaving honed his craft in DIY venues\, as a resident in club spaces\, festivals\, and community radio\, Jay brings a depth of understanding to every performance. Inspired by pioneers like David Mancuso and Larry Levan\, he sees music as more than just sound—it’s an experience\, a connection\, and a powerful force that transcends the moment. \n\n\n\nAs he shifts focus toward releasing bold and original work\, his journey remains unpredictable\, shaped by instinct rather than expectation. The destination? Only time will tell. \n\n\n\nhttps://www.instagram.com/jayfunctionofficial \n\n\n\nhttps://soundcloud.com/jayfunctionofficial \n\n\n\nhttps://www.facebook.com/JayFunctionOfficial \n\n\n\nDASA \n\n\n\nDASA is a local Ottawa DJ/producer and SpaceCamp founder/resident DJ who got started with music playing bass in progressive metal bands.
