ABOUT
THE LOVE PRIDE BALL
Cape Town’s iconic ballroom celebration returns with a night dedicated to love, pride, and chosen family.
WHAT IS BALLROOM?
Ballroom culture, also known as Ball Culture, was born in the 1980s within New York’s Black and Latinx LGBTQ+ communities. It emerged as a powerful response to exclusion, creating a space where people could be seen, celebrated, and free to express themselves.
Today, ballroom is a global movement celebrating identity, resilience, fashion, performance, and community. Participants “walk” in categories ranging from high fashion to dance performance, competing for trophies, prizes, and cultural recognition.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
LEGACY is for everyone.
We celebrate queer and trans individuals, women, femme-presenting people, and allies. Whether you're walking a category, cheering from the sidelines, or living your best life at the afterparty, you are welcome here.
