In their statement released on social media, the organization expressed their elation, stating, “To win an award for something we do simply because we believe in inclusion, equality, and banging tunes and an open dance floor… means more than we can put into words.”

Creating Memorable Experiences

Positive Vybez events are characterized by their club and pub-like ambiance, complete with DJs and a fully stocked bar. Volunteers and staff actively help to ensure that every attendee has a memorable and enjoyable experience.
