Opal Underground: One Last Dance!
Named after the colorful multi-faceted gemstone, Opal Underground has added an irreplaceable shimmer to Portland’s queer nightlife scene for the past three years. Sadly, the recurring dance night is dissolving, but it’s not going out without a bang! Stop by White Owl Social Club for one last dance featuring an unannounced DJ lineup (they’re keeping it a surprise, but promise it will be stacked with familiar faces and past Opal guests). The theme for this bash is ’80s prom so don’t forget your polyester suit or puffy-sleeved gown. AUDREY VANN
