Stonewall Ball 2025: Pride, Power, and Purpose—A Night to Be REDefined

Lake Worth Beach, FL – June is Pride Month, and Palm Beach County is turning up the volume on celebration, visibility, and purpose. At the heart of Compass LGBTQ+ Community Center’s Pride programming is the highly anticipated return of Stonewall Ball, taking place Saturday, June 28, 2025, from 7 PM to midnight at the iconic Cohen Pavilion at The Kravis Center.


The evening begins with an elegant VIP Cocktail Hour and Awards Ceremony from 7 PM to 9 PM, featuring premium cocktails, delicious hors d’oeuvres, and the celebration of local changemakers making an impact in our community. This year’s honorees include Dr. Alina Alonso, recipient of the Compass Leadership Award, and Kim Enright, recipient of the Michael Brown Faces of the Community Award—two individuals whose unwavering commitment and advocacy have left an indelible mark on Palm Beach County.


As the night unfolds, the space comes alive with music, immersive art, and unforgettable surprises, culminating in a high-energy dance party that kicks off at 9 PM.


“Stonewall Ball is more than a party—it’s a cultural statement,” said Julie Seaver, Executive Director of Compass. “In a time when LGBTQ+ rights are under attack, this year’s theme boldly reclaims our right to be seen, heard, and felt in every space. We’re celebrating joy, visibility, and the powerful connections that save lives.”


This year’s dress code, Elevated Red, encourages attendees to wear bold reds that reflect passion, power, and protection. Sequins, velvet, glitter, leather—whatever makes you feel most seen.


VIP Admission is $300 and includes access to the VIP reception, awards, and open bar.

General Admission is $50 and includes entrance to the dance party beginning at 9 PM.


Stonewall Ball is more than just a night of celebration—it’s a rallying call. With LGBTQ+ healthcare access and visibility under threat, this powerful evening honors our triumphs while fueling the fight for equity, safety, and joy.


Whether you're dancing the night away, honoring local heroes, or supporting from afar, there’s a role for everyone in making this event unforgettable.
