Gay Bingo: Studio 54 Edition

For more than 25 years, Lifelong’s Gay Bingo has been a Seattle tradition, bringing together friends, allies, and community leaders for a night of laughter, entertainment, and impact. As Seattle’s original Gay Bingo, this beloved event raises critical funds to support Lifelong’s mission while fostering a spirit of inclusivity, celebration, and community.

This year, we’re turning up the sparkle with Gay Bingo: Studio 54 Edition. Step into a disco-era dream filled with sequins, drag, comedy, prizes, and the high-energy bingo experience guests have come to know and love. Featuring special host Dana Goldberg, drag headliner Sativa the Queen, and dance floor favorite DJ ESSEX, the evening promises unforgettable entertainment and plenty of surprises along the way. VIP guests can keep the party going at the exclusive After Party featuring Betty Wetter and a special performance by The ABBAgraphs.

From enjoying cocktails and delicious bites to dancing the night away at our disco-inspired after-party, Gay Bingo delivers an evening where celebration takes center stage. More than a night out, it’s an opportunity to come together in support of Lifelong’s work removing barriers to health, housing, and food for our neighbors across Washington.

Join us for a night of glitz, glamour, community, and impact.
