Community grows through shared experiences. Whether you’re looking for friendship, family connection, or a great night at the movies, find a space that speaks to you.

The Sweetest Picnic in the Valley

Our largest and most unique community event welcomes you like family, with free food, beautiful music, art, and the joy of being together. Come reconnect with friends and discover new ones. When we gather with love, our whole community grows brighter!

Harvest a Little Happiness

Welcome fall with cozy community vibes, free live music, creative activities, and queer and allied vendors. Coming September 2027, this new celebration brings warm hearts together as the leaves begin to turn. As the seasons change, our sense of belonging keeps growing.

Big Joy. Bold Expression.

Celebrate the art of drag with fabulous queens, unforgettable performances, and the freedom to be yourself. Gather with friends, make new ones, and leave with your spirits lifted. When we celebrate each other’s individuality, we give one another the courage to shine.

Growing together, with love.

Supporting the young people we love is a journey, and having community beside us makes a difference. Parents Circle welcomes parents and caregivers of 2SLGBTQ+ young people, along with queer parents and their families, to connect, share experiences, and enjoy time together. Bring your questions, your stories, and your whole family!

Find your people. Be yourself.

You deserve a space where you can feel welcomed, make friends, and enjoy being you. Teen Circle brings 2SLGBTQ+ youth and allies ages 12 to 20 together for connection, creativity, and fun. Come share a laugh, try something new, and build friendships with people who celebrate you as you are.

Queer stories. Shared experiences.

There’s something special about watching a story unfold together. Our free monthly movie nights at North Bend Theatre bring queer lives, perspectives, and experiences to the big screen. Join us to discover a new film, revisit a favorite, and share an evening with community.

A Little Fire. A Little Fun. A Lot of Connection.

“Kindness is Our Campfire” is more than just our slogan…it’s our way of life! We bring our Kindness Campfires up and down the Valley and pair them with live music, movie nights, or dance parties, and always bring the s’mores!

Gather with our 2SLGBTQ+ community and allies to experience the healing medicine of shared stories, laughter, and feeling welcome and loved around the fire.

Our voices are powerful. When we share our stories, we help others feel seen and give ourselves room to be heard.

Art in all its forms can offer a path to healing, connection, and self discovery. Through Flicker, Glimmer, and Shimmer, we create opportunities to explore our voices and build visibility and community through creativity, art, and self expression.

Whether through film, words, or another spark of inspiration, our goal is to make space for you to express who you are, connect with others, and bring more beauty into the world.

Stories that help us see one another.

Our queer film festival celebrates the richness of 2SLGBTQ+ lives through the art of cinema. From intimate moments to bold new perspectives, Flicker brings us together around stories that spark conversation, stir our hearts, and expand our sense of what’s possible.

Your voice has something beautiful to share.

A poem. A song lyric. A short story. Sometimes a few words open a whole new world. Glimmer invites you to explore creative writing as a way to share your story and bring more beauty into the world. Whether you write often or are just beginning, come with curiosity and discover where your words can take you.

Let your creativity shine.

Shimmer makes room for creative expression within our Art Series. It’s an invitation to explore the spark within us and celebrate the beauty we each bring to our community.
