Cocktails, Flamingos, Drag Queens, & Dinner! In celebration of Gay Pride Month, the Center invites you to the Birdcage Experience! Join us for a night inspired by the 1996 movie The Birdcage. Unlike the film, our 4-course menu has been planned to perfection by Chef Kyle Kuklewski.

You are invited to wear your South Beach style and begin the evening with a cocktail party in the Center’s Redwood Grove. An optional flamingo-themed bilingual sip’n’paint will be taught by Jose Martinez while a DJ provides the Latin dance beats. C’mon shake your body baby, do the conga!

Drag Queens will then escort you to the Secret Garden where a fabulous 4-course meal is waiting. During dinner service our Queens will perform songs- bring your singles (dolla bills y’all!) because yes, they do accept tips. Just like you are at The Birdcage in Miami Beach!

The fun doesn’t end with dessert. When the Schnecken beckons, the disco music begins! This will be an unforgettable night in Sonoma Valley. Don’t wait! Get your tickets now as it’s sure to sell out.

This event is made possible with help from Out in the Vineyard and Manuel Merjil!

Sponsorship opportunities are available. Please contact cat@sonomacommunitycenter.org
