Dig out your finest formal wear and prepare to go hard in style at the 6th Annual Hard French Winter Ball. Typically the sweaty soul dance party takes over the patio at El Rio to facilitate your day-drinking and winking fantasies, but for this snazzed up event, you’ll find the gang at Oakland’s recently renovated and very-glam Starline Social Club. Oakland soul legend Sugar Pie DeSanto will take the main stage, with satellite spaces devoted to drag, dancing and DJs.
