Now Ugandans are thinking about Zari-all-white party because it's the best example for them. It has become a habit to celebrities and university students to organise such parties for birthdays, weddings and dinner.
All the other parties ie black party, blankets and wine party and the likes, the idea was copied from white parties. Now I unveil the history behind these parties.
White Parties are gatherings at which the standard attire is all or almost allwhite. White Parties have taken place in Miami,New York City,Chicago and other parts of the world.
In the gay community, the White Party is what is known as a circuit party,and it is just one of a hundred such events that take place around the country (and hundreds more around the globe) all year-round.
There is also the Black Party in New York, the Black & Blue Festival in Montreal, Mardi Gras in Sydney, the White Party and the Winter Party in Miami, or One Mighty Weekend / GayDayS in Orlando.
One of the first parties was held August 8, 1974, hosted by Chicago business owner Chuck Renslow to celebrate his birthday and thank his patrons.
It was then held for the next 36 years until 2010. The largest party was held in 1979 at Navy Pier with 5000 participants.
The New York City White Party was first held at the legendary private gay disco"Flamingo" on Broadway and Houston, on Presidents' Day weekend. The white theme derived from the snow often to be found that time of year.
It was then adopted by the East Village disco "The Saint" during the month of February of each year usually coinciding with the full moon. Dress requirement was always white.
After the closing of "The Saint" in 1988, The White Party became the norm for other cities around the country in the current circuit party system to host such events.
The Miami White Party is an annual fundraiser party for HIV/AIDS research. The all-white clothing theme was chosen by co-founder Frank Wager because, as hesaid, "White stands for purity.
Frank Wager and Jorge Suarez began planning an event they hoped would raise awareness - and a few dollars - to help fight HIV/AIDS in South Florida.
