Once a year the New York LGBT community comes together for a HISTORIC gala fundraiser--one that rises above all others for over-the-top glamour and fun. It kicks off the LGBTQ Gala season with a bang!! That event is The Imperial Court of New York ’s Night of a Thousand Gowns, an outrageous black tie dinner, dance and coronation ball.
The 31st Annual Night of a Thousand Gowns - Casino Royale, will be a historic one and it is more than just a dazzling display of regal glamour, it is an opportunity to celebrate the LGBT community, and in particular, the Reign of Emperor XXV Tree and Empress XXX Sugar B. Real. Of course what Coronation Ball would be complete without the crowning of Imperial Crown Prince Royal Harrington.
This past year’s event was attended by close to 1,000 affluent people and raised a substantial amount for our beneficiaries. In our thirty-one year history, the Court has donated millions of dollars to worthy LGBT and HIV/AIDS-related causes. For 2017, we are raising money for The Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund.
Our stage has been graced by the talents of Cyndi Lauper, Martha Wash, Debra Cox, Boy George, C.H.I.C., Jodi Watley, Michelle Williams, Martha Reeves, Expose, Crystal Waters, Lisa Lampanelli and Sandra Bernhard to name a few! 2017 will be the best star studded event yet!
We are inviting all of our family, friends and supporters to attend the 2017 festivities. We assure you that you will find it enormously entertaining. This year’s Gala will take place on Saturday, March 11, 2017 in the Broadway Ballroom at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square.
