On 10 September 2022, the fourth edition of the Queer Ball will take place in Prague and on 17 September 2022, the ninth edition of the Queer Ball for the LGBTQ+ community and its friends will take place in Brno. STUD, z.s., which organizes the ball, continues the successful tradition of the event organized for many years in both cities with the aim of reviving the social and cultural queer scene in Prague and Brno with a ball that every visitor can enjoy with his or her partner without shame and prejudice.

"For two years we could not organize balls due to the restrictions related to covid, so we decided to organize balls in non-traditional September dates. We would like to allow people to enjoy balls after a long time and would like to continue organizing this social ball event." says Marek Christ from the organizing team.

Prague - Saturday 10 September 2022 at 19:00, Tresor Club, Vinohradská 25

Brno - Saturday 17 September 2022 from 19:00, Kulturní centrum Babylon, Kounicova 22

The organizers have decided that this year's Queer Ball will be themed "Once Upon A Time". This means that visitors will be able to engage their imagination and be inspired by fairytale and fictional characters when choosing a suitable ball outfit.

"Each of our balls has a theme, we are continuing the traditional Queer Ball concept that has worked so well in previous years. We hope that visitors will once again be clever and creative and be able to tune their outfit to fit the theme of the ball. Ball visitors always appreciate the costumes and the imagination that other guests put into preparing their costume. It adds much more value to the ball and people identify more with the event," adds Marek Christ.

At both balls in Prague and Brno, visitors will be able to dance on the dance floor for the whole evening, during which there will be an accompanying programme including a raffle and dance and artistic performances. Guests will be accompanied throughout the evening by musicians from the band Eremy and well-known hosts. In Prague it will be the host of CNN Prima News Josef Mádle and in Brno it will be the theatre, film and TV actor Saša Rašilov.

The patronage of the ball in Prague was taken over by the mayor of the capital Zdeněk Hřib. The Queer Ball in Brno is held under the auspices of Tomáš Koláčný, 2nd Deputy Mayor of Brno.

"We are already looking forward to seeing all the visitors of both Queer Balls and we hope that the balls will be as successful as the ones before the covid break" adds Marek Christ in conclusion.
