Village in the Sky: Joburg’s Gay Party Scene Gets a Spectacular New Experience.
Joburg’s LGBTQ+ nightlife is about to reach new heights with Village in the Sky, a vibrant new gay party event promising an unforgettable mix of music, entertainment, food and community connection.
Taking place on Saturday, 25 April at the stylish Hotel Sky in Sandton, the event is the next evolution of The Village Joburg, which debuted in Norwood last year.
Now moving to a larger venue in the heart of Sandton, the organisers are promising an even bigger, more immersive experience — complete with free parking and special accommodation offers for those who want to turn the celebration into a full weekend getaway.
Doors open from 12:30 in the afternoon, and the party continues until 2am, offering two distinct experiences in one spectacular event.
A Daytime Gay Pool Party
The festivities begin with a lively open-air pool party in a stunning courtyard setting.
Guests can soak up the atmosphere with live music, DJs, drag shows and roaming entertainment, while enjoying waiter service and a range of food options.
The daytime celebration also features:
Sexy shooter boys
A dedicated q***r women’s area
The option to pre-book a space for you and your friends
Five different food selections – from pizza to Mexican.
Whether you want to swim, socialise or relax with a drink in the sun, the pool party is designed as a welcoming space for the LGBTQ+ community to connect and celebrate.
The Nighttime Sky Club Experience
When the sun sets, the party moves upstairs to the exclusive Sky Club, which opens at 21:00.
With limited capacity, this intimate club experience promises spectacular views over Sandton and a high-energy party atmosphere. Guests can expect top DJs, incredible entertainers and a breathtaking aerial drag show performed high above the dancefloor.
There’s also a large outdoor deck, perfect for enjoying the skyline between sets.
