Experience a Night of Community and Excitement at Resource Center Dallas’ Gaybingo

Few moments capture the thrill of anticipation like a bingo table waiting for that final number. At Resource Center Dallas’ monthly Gaybingo, attendees experience exactly that, paired with laughter, themed costumes, and the chance to win $2,500 in cash plus fantastic prizes.

Every third Saturday from January through November, guests dress in their favorite themed costume, bring friends, and enjoy a night that blends gaming, drag performances, and community support. Local drag superstars host the event, providing entertainment while the proceeds benefit the programs and services of one of the nation’s largest LGBT community centers.

Check their events calendar to explore the center’s facilities and learn about all of its programs.
