📍 Klub Palach (Kružna ulica 8, Rijeka)
📅 Saturday, October 3, 2026
🕘 21:00 – 2:00
Get ready, however you like—dancing shoes, sneakers, or slippers (if you REALLY must...😊), and proudly come over to Palach: an epic and nostalgic Queer-UP! Party awaits as the grand finale of 10th Festival Smoqua.
The iconic Palach is turning into a massive queer dance floor (huge thanks to them!)—the whole venue is ours! Expect a night of drag performances, dancing, glitter, and everything that keeps people coming to LORI parties—laughter, togetherness, and good tunes accompanied by chit-chat at the bar. 💅🌈
What’s in store, who’s going to be there?
💿 ŽeneBIH
What happens when you mix into one dance pot ex-Yu hits we all know by heart, 90s and 2000s international pop, a bit of camp, a touch of trash, and heaps of glitter? You get the ultimate recipe for dancefloor therapy! ✨
DJs and VJs Amila Hrustić Batovanja and Masha Durkalić are joining us from Prague and Sarajevo to guide us through the collective musical memory of the millennial generation—from ex-Yu classics to the international pop bops that shaped us. We can’t waaaaait!
To complete the visual experience, the music set will be accompanied by live feminist and queer visuals!
And when the atmosphere peaks, freebies might just rain down from above! Oh, there will be plenty of exciting stimuli! 😉
👑 Harem Girls
Coming straight from Belgrade’s Harem, these five drag queens know how to put on a show! Harem Girls have been setting the regional drag scene ablaze for a long time, with dozens of drag events and performances across Europe under their belts. Their Gagaverse, Drag Domaćica, Dragovision, and other spectacles are already well known to audiences, and you might have spotted them at Pesma za Evroviziju—first with "Aladin," and then with "Bom Bom." 👀✨
Titta Fourerira, Lefkada Tsunami, Lola Love, Lady Siren, and Nina Lee have cooked up a bit of everything for us: a dash of glam, a pinch of drama, heaps of dance, and, of course, the ultimate dose of drag magic. 💅
Special note: Smoqua Safety & Care team will be on site to ensure everything runs smoothly and safely.
As always, we’ll be handing out condoms and lubricants at the entrance for #safelove.
