- Pink Pony Pride Party
- The song: Pink Pony Club is a metaphor for a safe space where you feel free to be exactly who you are and we feel this is a perfect way to describe Night Spa. This unique event is aimed at the more adventuress adults of the Halifax queer community and is a celebration of the safe space we hold for people to truly explore their desires in a safer and comfortable setting. Consent and comfortability are key while at Night Spa and we think you will be impressed just how friendly and social this private clothing optional venue is here in the heart of Halifax. The Pink Pony Pride Party begins just as the Pride Femmes & Themmes event wraps up and many attendees from that party often chose to stay for the rest of the nights activities so expect it to be double busy this night! You can bring your own food and drinks. Soak in the hot tub, sweat it up in the sauna and then cool off on our smoking deck, all while socializing in the nude. Clothing is optional in this space but many choose to wear a bathing suit, bath robe, lingerie or just a towel. This is a zero-pressure environment where you can meet other people, watch, ask questions and even ask to join in.
