Voting Open for Go-Go Boys Appreciation Day Festival in Weho

The third annual Go-Go Boys Appreciation Day Festival and Competition in West Hollywood is set for Saturday, and voting is now open online to pick the top seven dancers that will compete in the competition and be judged by a live audience and celebrity judging panel. 

A total of 16 dancers have entered the contest. Click here to view the dancers and cast your vote. 

The contest will be held at the intersection of Larrabee Street and Santa Monica Boulevard at 7:30 p.m. Following the competition, Frontiers will host an official after-party at Micky’s beginning at 10:30 p.m.

The winner gets $1,000, a Palm Springs weekend getaway and a cover photo shoot with Frontiers, a LGBT publication which is sponsoring the event.

The city of West Hollywood is a co-sponsor of the event. The city does not put money toward the event, but instead waives certain fees for the bars involved.

"We're a unique city and this is a unique event that you wouldn't see somewhere like the San Gabriel Valley," West Hollywood City Council Member Jeffery Prang told the crowd at last year's event. "Go-Go Dancer Appreciation Day is a marketing scheme to help maintain the business scene on Santa Monica Boulevard. This program helps continue to promote the Weho business district."

"It brings out a lot of people and generates a lot of revenue, and it keeps things current and vibrant," Prang added.
