Friday 31 May
7pm – Midnight - AFTERPAY AVAILABLE AT CHECK-OUT
Kirikiriroa (Hamilton CBD) – secret location revealed to ticket holders the week of the event.

Ginger’s is finally making its Hamilton debut!
The theme? Night at the Museum - not a costume party, but if you show up as a hot explorer or ancient artefact, no one’s stopping you.

***Ginger’s is a sought-after nationwide pop-up series celebrating sapphic culture, with sold-out events, off-grid camp weekends, and an upcoming podcast. It celebrates sapphic and lesbian culture, and is a welcoming space for anyone who feels this is their community - across the spectrum of gender and identity.

Hosted by Cassie Roma - Truth or Dare Challenges and More!

Cassie is a media and branding powerhouse, TEDx speaker, and former Chair of the largest Auckland Pride in history. She's led major campaigns for Air NZ, ANZ, and The Warehouse Group, and you might recognise her from judging The Apprentice, or as a star of Celebrity Treasure Island. She is also known for the absolute lols she creates with her Truth or Dare challenge to heat up the evenings at Ginger's across the nation!

The Grip Pit

Rugby powerhouse and Women in Rugby podcast host Alice Soper is back on the mic but this time, she’s not calling plays, she’s calling out challengers. Welcome to THE GRIP PIT, the sapphic showdown where biceps meet bravado and someone’s pride is going down with their elbow. Alice is MCing the chaos with all the charm and cheek you'd expect - hype, heckles, and maybe a few flirty little threats. Whether you're here to wrestle, witness, or weakly pretend you 'don’t even work out,' The Grip Pit is where it’s all going down.

Spcy Burlesque Performance by Kiki Kisses
Wellington’s very own “Thespian of Burlesque,” Kiki is known for her theatrical flair, commanding presence, and performances that land somewhere between showgirl and fever dream. Core cast at Club Burlesque NZ, former Miss Pin-Up NZ and once you see her, you’ll know why.

DJ Chels til Midnight (from Tāmaki Makaurau)
With sets from Ibiza to Auckland, DJ Chelsea brings the heat with vocal-forward house, disco edits, and queer anthems that keep you on your toes! Chels has got the musical range and energy to keep the floor packed until midnight.
