2025 DTs Halloween Party!

This Halloween, we’re tuning in to the rainbow channel of our youth—because Saturday mornings were made for cereal, cartoons, and queer camp!

Our 2025 Halloween Party theme is Saturday Morning Queertoons —a fabulous riff on the animated and live-action classics we grew up with from 1965 and beyond.

Costumes and decorations can draw from any of your favorite Saturday morning shows—from mystery-solving squads to rainbow utopias, muscle-bound heroes to campy villains. If it lit up your Saturday mornings, it’s fair game to queer it up now!

Get ready for a night of nostalgia, camp, and cartoon chaos—where our tribe brings the color and queerness those Saturday mornings always deserved.

📺✨ Grab your cape, your wig, or your oversized cartoon mallet—and let’s bring the toons to life, Queer-style!

🍲 Potluck Style!
Bring a dish to share (bonus points for creative, cartoon-inspired treats). We usually get a lot of food for this event, so don’t worry if you don’t have time to cook or shop—just bring yourself and your toon-tastic look!
