LOS ANGELES, October 18, 2023 – The Greater Los Angeles Softball Association (GLASA) today  announced that at least 19 sports will be participating in the 17th annual Sin City Classic Sports Festival  Presented by Lexus.

Each year  the Flamingo Las Vegas hosts the Sin City Classic, which now sees the participation of over 10,000  LGBTQ+ athletes and allies from around the world. 

“The Sin City Classic has become a staple of the LGBTQ+ sports community. Each year we work hard to  create a safe space for our athletes to gather for a weekend of competition, fun, and – mostly  importantly – community, said Sin City Classic Co-Executive Director Jason Peplinski. “As the festival  grows and evolves with a diverse roster of both sports and participants, this year we’re welcoming the  LGBTQ+ Rodeo to show off their sport to our attendees.” 

Additional sports hosting competitions at this year’s festival include: Bowling, Bridge, Cheerleading,  Cornhole for Charity, Soft Tip Darts, Steel Tip Darts, Dodgeball, Flag Football, Golf, Indoor Rowing,  Kickball, Pickleball, Soccer, Softball, Tennis, Ultimate Frisbee, Indoor Volleyball, Sand Volleyball, and  Wrestling & Grappling.  

Each January during the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend, the festival kicks off with the  Opening Night Registration Party held at the Flamingo Las Vegas. Competitions and nightly social events  then take place around the city, with the weekend culminating in the Closing Party. This year’s Closing  Party takes place at the LINQ Promenade’s Brooklyn Bowl.  

GLASA created the Sin City Classic in 2008 as an LGBTQ+ softball tournament meant to provide a safe  and competitive atmosphere for LGBTQ+ athletes. Over the past 16 years the tournament has grown to  include 24 sports and approximately 10,000 athletes and fans. GLASA remains committed to creating the
