Poppers: A PEI Tea Dance

  • Brakish Lawn 2 Lower Water Street Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, C1A 0B1 Canada (map)

Experience living Queer history with an afternoon tea dance fuelled by disco hits, techno club classics, and tracks from summer 2026. Like piano bars, tea dances are an opportunity to live our history. Tea dances rose to prominence beginning in the 1950s as a grassroots countermeasure against laws that made it illegal for bars to serve queer people or for people of the same gender identity to dance with each other. Typically held on Sunday afternoons, tea dances have always been an opportunity for queer people to get loud without missing work the next day. Lots of "T", but no "tea", if you catch my drift. Poppers: A PEI Tea Dance aims to bring the 50+ 2SLGBTQIA+ crowd together with younger queers and our allies 19+ for an afternoon of boundless joy. Dress up or dress down, but don't miss this one-of-a-kind event that puts you in the centre of living queer history.
