Halloween official Pride after party names the day

Event promoters Pieter Rossouw and Bruce Walker, best known for creating the brazen Fireman's Balls bashes (and also of Qc and Risqué fame), are back together to do what they do best; bringing world-class partying to the city's revellers.

They've teamed up with the 26th annual Johannesburg Pride and Manhunt.net for what promises to be the biggest, loudest and boldest party on Gauteng's LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) calendar.

Whether you can't wait to wear a blood-curdling outfit or skimpy sensual get-up of your own - or simply plan to ogle the night's eye-popping costumed creations - everyone's welcome to join in the Halloween Ball madness.

In addition to the eye-candy, of course, the other big draws of the evening are a star-studded DJ line-up headed by 5FM's Roger Goode and the sexiest go-go boys this side of transsexual Transylvania.

While costumes aren't a requirement, this is your chance to be creative and daring, and arrive in your most outrageous and imaginative Halloween attire. Make the crowds gasp, laugh, scream or drool, but make sure you get noticed.

The magnificent Arena in Fourways, one of the most stylish and versatile event venues in the province, will be transformed into a spectacular Halloween fantasy-scape for the night. In addition to the top-of-the-range staging, lighting and sound on offer, there's also plenty of secure and free parking available.
