Craft & Connect: A Lesbifriends Holiday Celebration
Commas, 8661 Colesville Road, Level 3, Silver Spring, MD, USYOU MUST BOOK THIS EVENT VIA OUR WEBSITE. AN RSVP ON MEETUP DOES NOT SECURE YOUR SPOT!
Join us for Craft & Connect: A Lesbifriends Holiday Celebration, a creative, end-of-year gathering intentionally designed for queer women, femmes, and nonbinary folks who love community, laughter, and hands-on fun. Held at Commas Food Hall in Silver Spring, this festive afternoon invites you to relax, connect, and create as we close out 2025 together.
You’ll choose one of two guided projects led by Happy Trees Entertainment, either rolling your own cozy beeswax candle or designing a glowing snow mason jar. Both crafts are beginner-friendly and perfect for channeling creativity while connecting with others in an affirming, joy-filled space.
It’s a space to come curious, get creative, and leave with something you made by hand plus the warmth of community to carry into the new year.
