Monthly & Weekly Events Gay Karaoke

Rain Cafe & Lounge - Every Thursday night from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. Rain turns into Wichita’s largest karaoke party! Hosted by DJ Sunshine, this small bar in Wichita’s Old Town District quickly fills up with party-goers of all ages, sexual orientations and genders. Drinks are cheap and the service is fantastic.

Tip from a local: The Karaoke Party at Rain is the perfect opportunity to meet locals and make new friends. The high top tables are communal seating and give you the chance to strike up a conversation - or find your next duet partner!

J’s Lounge - Wichita’s LGBTQ+ dive bar throws a karaoke party each Monday at 7 p.m. hosted by DJ Hook Echo. This dive in downtown Wichita has stiff drinks and a heated patio for your breaks in-between singing ABBA’s top hits.

XY - Wichita’s largest gay bar also hosts drag shows and pageants every Sunday at 7 p.m. The show attracts a range of local to regional queens to the Old Town District.

Tip from a local: If you’re bringing a large group and want a good seat, I highly recommend reserving a table in advance!
