The Ritz
The Ritz gala dinner is one of the largest events held annually for the central Illinois lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community. In its seventh year, The Ritz is a casually elegant affair that features a three-course dinner, an evening of dancing, and a celebration of the progress made by the LGBT community during the past year.
Our 2024 theme was "Celebrating Every Journey." Every member of the LGBTQ+ community, their friends, families, and allies all go through the journey of acceptance and transition. Some of those journeys are more difficult than others, but they make each of us who we are. We celebrate the identities of each and every one of them.
Our 2025 theme is "Words To Live By." As the old saying goes, "words will never hurt me," but they do have power based on how they are used and interpreted. There are those words that lift us all and make us better people. This year, we want those words to be heard loud and clear as we face an unknown future.
