Red Lace Affair vol 3. at Café Jon & Galleria – Chicago, IL

A Speakeasy Experience | World AIDS Day Celebration

The door is open, but everybody ain't ready for what's behind it!

Lace to Liberation is back with the 3rd Annual Red Lace Affair, and this year we're doing things a little differently!

Welcome to THE RED ROOM, an intimate, grown and sexy speakeasy experience where fashion, music, culture, and community come together for a purpose bigger than the party.

We're bringing together beautiful people, good energy, signature cocktails, and a room full of RED as we celebrate life, honor those we've lost to HIV/AIDS, and show love to those living and thriving with HIV today.

Because around here, PREVENTION IS SEXY, KNOWING YOUR STATUS IS POWERFUL, AND STIGMA IS NEVER INVITED!

THE EXPERIENCE

Sunday, November 29, 2026

3 PM – 5 PM | The Prevention Cocktail Hour

Sip. Socialize. Prevent. Repeat.

An intimate cocktail experience featuring HIV prevention conversations, community connections, and access to sexual health resources. We're making room for real conversations without judgment, shame, or stigma.

5 PM – 8 PM | The Red Room Speakeasy Experience

The room comes alive! Expect music, fashion, cocktails, beautiful people, and an atmosphere that celebrates the freedom to show up as your full, authentic self.

THE DRESS CODE

ALL RED EVERYTHING!

Come dressed to be seen. Think sophisticated, sexy, vintage glamour, and speakeasy chic. Whether it's lace, velvet, satin, or a tailored suit, bring your own interpretation of RED.

MORE THAN A PARTY

Red Lace Affair is Lace to Liberation's annual World AIDS Day celebration, created to bring awareness to HIV prevention while uplifting people living with HIV.

We believe conversations about sexual health belong in the same spaces where we celebrate life, love, fashion, and culture.

No shame. No judgment. Just community.

STILL HERE. STILL FINE. STILL DESERVING.

This isn't just another event on your calendar. It's an experience with intention.

The Red Room awaits. And trust us, you want to be in THAT room!
