I cannot wait for this!!!
🎭✨ **A LITTLE MYSTERY. A LITTLE MAGIC. A WHOLE LOT OF ELEGANCE.** ✨🎭
Spooky Season is creeping in, and we can’t think of a better excuse to pull out the masks, dramatic gowns, sharp suits, elaborate costumes, and all the beautifully over-the-top looks you’ve been waiting for a reason to wear.
Join the **Central Texas Pride Community Center** on **Saturday, October 17th** for our **Venetian Masquerade Gala & Community Awards**! 🖤
Think Venetian elegance with a touch of October mystery—ornate masks, lace and velvet, jewel tones, gothic glamour, fantasy, dramatic makeup, and costumes worthy of a night behind the mask.
Whether you arrive dripping in elegance, embracing your favorite spooky-season aesthetic, or somewhere deliciously in between, **dress up, show out, and make the night yours.**
Beyond the masks and glamour, we’ll also take time to celebrate the incredible people, businesses, and organizations whose work continues to strengthen and uplift our Central Texas LGBTQIA+ community.
🎭 **Saturday, October 17th**
✨ **VIP begins at 7 PM**

So find your mask. Plan the outfit. Add that extra little bit of drama.
Because it’s Spooky Season, darling… **you already have the perfect reason to get dressed up.** 🎃🎭✨
