Bal Lanmou: A Queer Haïtian Fèt Date: Fri Sep, 4 2026 Time: 9PM Location: The High Note 119 E 15th St, New York, NY 10003 The Queer Haitian Collective invites you to Bal Lanmou: The Second Edition—a night of music, community, and celebration benefiting the Trans Organization of Haiti (OTRAH). Join queer Haitians, friends, allies, and community members for an unforgettable evening dedicated to joy, solidarity, and collective care. All are welcome. At a time when political instability and gang violence in Port-au-Prince continue to threaten the safety and livelihoods of LGBTQ+ communities, OTRAH's work has become more vital than ever. 100% of the proceeds from the night will be donated directly to OTRAH to help sustain their critical programs and ongoing operations. The evening will feature electrifying sets from Sabine Blaizin, Mars Motion, and DJ InO, bringing together the sounds of Haiti and the diaspora for a dance floor rooted in love, resistance, and celebration.
