girlNATION, one of the most well-known sapphic parties in New York City, is celebrating a major milestone with a massive party this Saturday!
Founded by Hana Love and Danielle Millet-Stanziale, girlNATION has been a pillar in the city’s lesbian community since 2004. This weekend, they’re inviting everyone who has been a part of the party, and those who have yet to experience it, to celebrate their anniversary.
“Remembering the original NATION days!” Hana and Danielle shared on Facebook Monday. “It’s where you met your friends, [your] wives, & had the best time dancing, drinking & being […] gay.”
The 20th anniversary party, hosted by Danielle Presents, promises giveaways from Olivia Travel, the leading travel company for lesbians and LGBTQ+ women. There will also be giveaways from Jagermeister.
DJ RosyQ will be spinning her iconic electric dance mixes all night. Dancer CJ is also set to perform.
Those who have been a patron of girlNATION for years may see a few photos of themselves at the party! A slideshow of girlNATION history will be playing, giving everyone a chance to reminisce on past parties.
“We are grateful for all the support you have given us throughout the years,” the founders wrote. “We made it happen together, the unforgettable memories & experience! We thank you wholeheartedly.”
The 20th anniversary party is set for Saturday, October 19 at Everything’s Jake at 54th E 13th Street. Festivities kick off at 9pm. More info here.
