🤍🦄OAKLAND, we’re coming home🦄🤍

We are so thrilled, excited and honored to be able to share q***r space at the historic White Horse Inn!

“Operational since 1933 (or quite possibly before since records were not kept during Prohibition), it’s the oldest continuously operating gay and le***an bar in the United States.”

Thank you to our community for showing up and showing out with the suggestions. We appreciate y’all and have huge plans for 2023. 😮‍💨🥹🥰

🕰️ Please join us on Friday February 3rd from 9pm-2am, as we continue to make q***r history and community in Oakland.

🎟️TICKETS ON SALE NOW (link in bio)🎟️

📣 Full DJ and performer line-up announced soon 📣

🗣️The new owner is such a genuine, thoughtful and wonderful q***r woman of color and we feel so lucky we get to work with her!

🚧 There are many wonderful safety and functionality upgrades to the venue and many more on the way!

🍽️ Food by our friends at .s_cuisine

⚠️ Venue is ADA accessible and the bathrooms are gender neutral ⚠️

As many of you know, we mentioned last month that we are in search for a new venue(s) for 2023, and QFF will not be taking place this month. 😭

We are taking this change as an opportunity to explore new ventures and expand our q***r footprints. 🌈👠🐾

While we have some exciting new leads that we can’t wait to share, at this time we’re digging deep into our community asking y’all to tag your favorite venues, breweries, bars, clubs, hole in the walls and all - where you might like to see QFF. Know another event we should collab with? Tag them too! ❤️

In love, in family, in community — thank you for always supporting us. It takes a q***r village, and we’re so lucky to have y’all! 🥰

🎄☃️LAST CALL AT TRB ☃️🎄

👋 The Rare Barrel has been sold to new owners and will be closing the facility for at least a few months. As we navigate our next steps, this will likely be our last QFF at this location. Stay tuned for more details in the new year, but more importantly - DO NOT MISS THIS QFF. It won't disappoint! Pre-sale tickets available now!!

🥶WEATHER: It's expected to be very cold with a small chance of rain. Due to this, the event will take place indoors in the back of the warehouse. There will be plenty of space and ventilation!

🎧 DJ's: Honeybear & DJ Align (LA | NY)
