DCATS invites you to Trans Community Nights — a recurring series of vibrant, welcoming gatherings for trans, nonbinary, and gender-diverse folks across the DMV. Happening every few months, these events are designed to bring our community together to connect, collaborate, and support one another.

Come meet new people, share stories, enjoy good food, and build lasting connections. Whether you’re new to the area or deeply rooted in the community, there’s a place for you here.

All invitations are managed through Partiful, our event platform. Once you’ve received an invite for one event, you’ll automatically be able to RSVP for future Community Nights.
