Queer Night Out: Color Me Carnival (10/23)

This October, Queer Night Out will include carnival booth games, other fun activities, live music, and prizes.

Wear whatever you like, and you can simply come as you are. But if you want to lean into the theme, you're invited to dress up...

Strut out as:

• a ringmaster,
• a full-on elephant,
• a fortune teller,
• or drag it up as a bearded lady,
• and if you are a bearded lady, we are especially here for it!
• Clowns are welcome too... but fair warning: our founder isn't a fan, so you'll have to win them over yourself.

There will be a fun lil assortment of raffle prizes, and many opportunities to earn raffle tickets (and also the option to buy tickets).

Earn a raffle ticket by:

• making an EventBrite reservation
• dressing up for the theme
• playing the carnival games
• supporting one vendor

Community can look like making ten new friends, having one meaningful conversation, or simply feeling comfortable in a space. Bring your crew or come solo. Hang with familiar faces, introduce yourself to someone new, or invite another guest to join your table. There is no pressure to mingle with everyone.

Queer Night Out and Queerli welcome every gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, culture, neurotype, ability, and ally. Please respect the comfort levels, boundaries, and personal space of the people around you. We want the night to feel fun, affirming, and safe for everyone.

Your reservation does not include food or beverages. Donations support Queerli’s nonprofit operational costs, future community events, and our ongoing work to build a financial assistance program for LGBTQIA+ community members facing socioeconomic barriers to gender-affirming care, second-parent adoption, legal name changes, or relocation from unaffirming homes.

$5 - 𝗦𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗗𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: This amount allows us to sustain our events and cover operational costs.
$10 - 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻: This amount is for those in our communities who can afford to give a little extra, supporting us as we work to offer more experiences and safer spaces for the LGBTQIA+ communities.
$1 - 𝗘𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀: This end of the scale is for folks who are experiencing financial hardship and would benefit from the support of the community. Queerli events should be accessible to all people, regardless of finances, and we never want money to be a barrier to your attendance. If this tier is not accessible for you, enter an amount outside of the scale that is sustainable for you or contact us via email ([email protected]) or DM @queerli.safespace. No one will be turned away due to a lack of funds.
