Sin City Classic
Last week, I attended the Sin City Classic in Las Vegas, where I helped my best friend, Nick, a board member, with event preparations and photography. This year, I photographed Pickleball, Kickball, Softball, Soccer, and various other events, including the closing party with Melanie C of The Spice Girls fame. I also visited the Neon Boneyard for some photos, making it a fun and productive trip.
The Sin City Classic, hosted annually by the Greater Los Angeles Softball Association (GLASA), is the world’s largest LGBTQIA+ sports festival. Held in Las Vegas over four days before the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, it began in 2008 and now attracts nearly 8,000 athletes and 2,000 fans participating in 20+ sports.
This festival fosters community and connection through competition and social activities. GLASA, a Los Angeles-based 501(c)(3) organization, coordinates efforts alongside various LGBTQIA+ sports leagues.
