QUEER SOCIAL CLUB: A VERY QUEER COSTUME CRAWL 
Oct

QUEER SOCIAL CLUB: A VERY QUEER COSTUME CRAWL 

Halloween season is here, and we’re celebrating it!

 A VERY QUEER COSTUME CRAWL 

Wednesday, October 29

       7:00pm → Iron Flamingo (54 W Market St)

  • 8:00pm → The Office (70 W Market St)

    We will probably head to another bar after The Office - totes   depends on the mood and vibe! 

Come however you like: vampire, fairy, hot mess, or just your everyday fabulous self. Costumes encouraged, but not required. The goal? Be with your people, laugh too loud, and fill Market Street with queer joy.

This one’s pay-your-own-way, but please don’t let money keep you home. We’ve got community funds set aside to cover anyone who needs it—confidential and judgment-free. Just let Bethany know, and you’re covered.

And if you’d like to help someone else raise a glass, email Bethany at bethany@cardcarryingshop.com. We’ll make sure your generosity goes straight to the community!
