Invasion, The

The Invasion is a ball associated with Atlanta's ballroom scene, the Black and Latino LGBTQ+ subculture where competing houses walk categories like runway, vogue, and realness for trophies and status. Balls like this one reflect how ballroom, which began in Harlem, spread well beyond New York into Southern cities with large queer communities of color. Atlanta became a major regional hub for the scene, hosting recurring balls that draw houses and performers from across the country. Details such as dates and organizers change from year to year, so anyone attending should confirm current information directly with the organizers rather than relying on older listings.
