It's that time of year again Festivus for the rest of us!
Join us for a lighthearted community dinner where we gather around the Festivus Pole, share food, laughter, and yes air a few grievances (all in good fun). Bring a dish to share, your chosen family, and your best Festivus spirit as we celebrate the season our own way.

What to expect

The Festivus Pole: Simple, unadorned, and proudly displayed.

Airing of the Grievances: Got a bone to pick with 2025? A mild annoyance? Something deeply petty yet emotionally satisfying to say out loud? This is your moment. Festivus demands honesty and we'll provide the mic.

Feats of Strength: Lighthearted games and friendly challenges to end the night with some laughs.

Community Potluck: Everyone brings a dish or treat to share. Store-bought or homemade it's all welcome.

Dirty Santa Gift Exchange Bring a wrapped gift (limit $15) and jump into the fun of swapping, stealing, and strategizing for the best loot. Optional but way more fun if you play.



We'll provide

Plates, utensils, napkins, and beverages

Space for warming dishes

A little Festivus flair and a lot of good company



What to bring

Party-Style Food We're keeping it simple and social: bring a favorite party-ready finger food, appetizer, or snack to share. Think charcuterie, dips, cookies, pigs--in-a-blanket anything bite-sized and festive. Not required, but always appreciated!

Your sense of humor and community spirit

Optional: festive attire or ugly sweater



Come as you are. Stay for the laughter, the community, and the most wonderfully nonsensical holiday of them all.

Open to all LGBTQ+ folks, allies, and lovers of weird traditions.
