Social Butterflies

Make friends, dress up and enjoy being yourself

Join the Social Butterflies team for an unforgettable evening of community empowerment at DT's Hotel in Richmond!

Experience a place where cis people are the minority and living your authentic self is celebrated! Feel the relief of being surrounded by like-minded people from Melbourne’s bubbling community of trans people, queers, and cross-dressers, all gathered under one roof for a night of fun.

The comfortable environment of DT's Hotel offers a safe and welcoming space for ALL gender diverse individuals and their guests, to express themselves freely. Whether you're a seasoned member of the community or just starting to explore your identity, this event is designed to foster connection, understanding, and a sense of belonging.

Not feeling confident? Discrete parking is available on Highett Street for those taking baby steps in their chosen gender. We especially cater towards those who have never been seen as their true selves in public. If you have been holding out for an opportunity, this is it.

Not sure who to talk to? Anyone holding a plushie Blahaj (IKEA Shark and our patron saint) will be open to conversation.

Not able to make it this time? We meet on a Friday every month at DT's, keep an eye on their socials for your next chance to join the community. Oh and the dress code? Dress as the real you.

Entry is FREE, so don't miss out on this opportunity to be part of a community that lets you be you. We can't wait to welcome you with open arms at DT's Hotel in Richmond!
