Bellingham Erotic Ball @ Hotel Leo

Experience a weekend of erotic entertainment at the second annual Bellingham Erotic Ball — Whatcom County’s premier adult Halloween event. This year’s theme is “Leather and Lace” and will be hosted at the historic Hotel Leo in Downtown Bellingham on Saturday, October 19, 2024.

This year’s event will feature…

Dancing & Live Entertainment in the Crystal Ballroom
A vendor hall showcases erotic and queer artists’
Light appetizers are included in admission.
Kink Demonstration Room: a fun kink exploration space
Queer short film showings in the Clark Gable Theater on the lower level
And more!

This year’s event will be a “hotel takeover”! This allows us to use all the public spaces of the hotel for Erotic Ball events and entertainment. You’re invited to wear your sexiest costume — or whatever you feel comfortable in!

This event is put on by the Bellingham Queer Collective — a 501(c)(3) organization. Proceeds from the event will support the new BQC community center opening in May.

Standard Admission: $65 Early Bird ($85 after September 19th)

Contributor Admission: $100. Includes early admission, a swag bag, access to a private roped-off area, and priority line skips to the bar. This ticket does not include hotel reservations

Looking to Stay the Night?
Locals and visitors alike can reserve Hotel Leo rooms to make a weekend out of the event. When Saturday night party goers reserve a room using our specially rated code, part of the proceeds will go to the BQC! Discounted rooms are also available on Friday and Sunday nights if you want to spend a long weekend in beautiful Bellingham! See the ticket page on our website for the discounted codes.
