Queer Night Out East: Halloween Party

Queer Night Out is hitting the road! First stop: Riverhead Ciderhouse with a Halloween party. Costumes ENCOURAGED!

Starting this October, QNO will rotate through different towns across eastern Suffolk County, bringing queer joy + safe spaces to even more of our community. Join us for a once-a-month low-key social mixer to meet, socialize, mingle, and network with the LGBTQIA+ community. We will also feature a Fall Creative Fair with a spotlight on queer artists and vendors, as well as queer-affirming businesses.

Bring friends or make new ones. Icebreakers and games are on tables for self-led activities. Hang with your crew, or introduce yourself to new folks and invite them to sit with you. We stan a welcoming environment and want every gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, culture, neurotype, and ally to feel welcome in this space.

RESERVATIONS REQUESTED. We are continually surprised with anywhere between 75-100+ folks in attendance. For the venue to plan appropriately, please reserve by making a donation of any amount to Queerli. PLEASE RESERVE HERE.

Your donation will not include any food or beverages at Queer Night Out. Donations go towards Queerli's nonprofit operational costs, future events, and our new initiative to provide financial assistance for LGBTQIA+ community members in need 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 (hello@queerli.org) or DM @queerli.safespace. No one will be turned away due to a lack of funds.

𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗦 + 𝗩𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗢𝗥𝗦
For this special QNO, we’re turning the space into a fall creative fair with room for 20+ vendors. We welcome both LGBTQIA+ makers and ally businesses that are proudly queer-affirming. Please apply here to become a vendor.
