When: September 15, 2025, at 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm

This is a 2SLGBTQIA+ centered event and an opportunity for queer and trans community members to connect and build community. That said, everyone is welcome! We ask that you are respectful of the intent of this inclusive space.
Registrants will be prioritized, and drop-in participants are welcome. We have supplies and catering ordered for 150 participants. Due to limited supplies and boxed dinners, we will be providing wristbands for the first 150 participants. First come first serve!
Of course, there will be other activities available for those who are unable to get a wristband. We hope to see you there!
What to expect at the event:
At this event, there will be opportunities to do an activity alongside other participants. We will be painting terra cotta pots with acrylic paint and sharing conversations with one another. Acrylic paint does stain, so be sure to wear clothing you don’t mind getting potentially stained.
We expect 150 or more participants to attend this event. Music may be played throughout the event.
