RED HOT HAIRPINS
SATURDAY 2/15. Club 27. 8 p.m. $10-$15.

Looking for the ultimate gay Galentine’s Day experience? With four bustling White Water Tavern gatherings in the rearview, Hairpins — a group that’s been organizing events since the middle of 2024 — is upping the ante and throwing its first-ever dance party at Club 27 in downtown Little Rock. As is the case with all Hairpins programming, everyone is welcome to attend, but the target audience is “lesbians, queers, transgender and nonbinary individuals.” If gyrating isn’t your thing, the first hour will be lighter on the tunes and reserved for socializing. Once the real grooving begins at 9 p.m., attendees are encouraged to wear stickers signifying whether they’re taken, out with friends, or single and hoping to mingle. The party lasts until 1 a.m. Get tickets here.
