THURSDAY X THE SUNTRAPP: QUEER ONLY COSTUMES & CRUSHES (AGES 21+)
Just a bar, everyone single. Because the world in 2026 is all about meeting IRL, not on dating apps!
✨ Welcome to The Sun Trapp ✨
The Sun Trapp isn’t just a bar it’s a legacy of light, belonging, and community. Born from Joe Redburn’s vision of a true sanctuary, this iconic space has spent over 50 years offering warmth, safety, and celebration to anyone seeking a place to be fully themselves. Today, that same spirit lives on in every laugh shared on the patio, every dance under the lights, and every moment where strangers become something more.

💘 The Matchmaking Experience ⚠️ Please arrive on time! This event follows a structured matching schedule, and late arrivals may miss portions of the experience. Matching will be powered by Matchbox. It’s a software that uses relationship science to find you your most compatible match at the party. The algorithm has matched more than half a million people to date, across 40 countries. It optimizes for long-term compatibility, based on values—but it’s up to you to see if you’ll click.
How it works:
Upon arrival, you’ll take a matching questionnaire built by Matchbox’s team of relationship scientists and curated by your host.
The Matchbox algorithm will identify your optimal match at the party, based on relationship science, AI, and Nobel Prize-winning economics.
After mingling with the whole group, matches are revealed!
What to expect:
The matching process is highly intentional—come with an open mind.
If your match isn’t love at first sight, that’s okay! The algorithm is designed for long-term compatibility, so at baseline, you’ll be values-aligned.
At the end of the day, this will be a great group of single people. Enjoy meeting everyone, and remember to be kind.

Q: What is your refund policy? A: We need to balance the party, and that involves planning! So no refunds can be granted, although in rare cases we may be able to extend a credit to a future event.🥰 Coming solo? Perfect. So are 40% of our guests.
