"The Circuit is a series of gay dance parties that are held around the world. A circuit party gives us the chance to escape the pressures of our day-to-day existence and to enter the altered world where friendship, dancing, love, spirituality and self expression are celebrated.

When The Circuit comes to town, that town becomes an instant gay ghetto full of men. Groups traveling from all across the country enjoy the festivities, sightsee and engage in different events from skiing to river-rafting, all scheduled around large dance events.

This is a big part of the attraction of a circuit party - it gives us the opportunity to take over entire sections of a city, making the restaurants, hotels, and streets into queer spaces. Many cities are developing parties which emphasize the assets of their local community, from gay ski weekends to an escape to South Beach in the middle of the winter. From a party at the Olympic Stadium in Montreal to a spring celebration in the middle of the desert. This trend is now expanding to international destinations as well."
