Part drag spectacle, part game night, all heart - Gay Bingo Charlotte is one of the Queen City’s most outrageous and unforgettable events. It's not your typical fundraiser. Imagine a themed night full of belly laughs, crazy performances, crowd antics, dazzling costumes, and bingo like you've never seen it before. Every year features a brand-new theme and set of zany rules that make each year unique. Come in costume, bring your crew, and expect the unexpected.
No cash prizes here! Just pure joy, unforgettable memories, and the chance to help end HIV in our community.
Everyone is welcome! Whether you're LGBTQIA+, straight, 21 or 71 - Gay Bingo Charlotte is for anyone who loves to laugh, celebrate diversity, and be part of something that truly matters. This is Charlotte’s biggest inclusive party with a purpose.
We put the spotlight on local heroes - your neighbors, coworkers, and community leaders - who trade in their day jobs for wigs, heels, and glitter to raise money for RAIN’s services and programs. No pros, just pure community magic. It’s the only event in Charlotte where you’ll see your boss in drag, your grandma laughing at bingo hijinks, and your whole squad dancing for a cause.
From our quirky beginnings in 2000 to 1,500+ strong sellout crowds at the Charlotte Convention Center, Gay Bingo has raised nearly $2 million for life-changing HIV support services.
This is your chance to laugh loud, give back, dress up, and feel good doing it, all in one epic night. Get your tickets. Bring your friends. Be part of the movement.
