Description
This event is being held on the stolen, ancestral territories of the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ and Sḵwx̱wú7mesh nations. As we live and organize queer space as settlers on these lands, we have an obligation to continuously work to repair harms perpetrated upon Indigenous communities, presently and historically. Ricecake strives to work with and give back to Indigenous communities in all that we do.
Represented by the only mythical — and the most powerful — creature of the zodiac, the Year of the Dragon is considered to be the luckiest and most auspicious of the 12 animals! And Burnaby, you must be full of good luck, because Ricecake's queer, Asian extravaganza is coming directly to you this Lunar New Year! Join us at the Grand Villa Casino for a night of music, dancing, and entertainment featuring the finest queer & Asian local artists:
** UPDATE: Drag Shows and Raffle Draws will be at 10:00PM & 11:30PM! **
