What is this Awesomeness?!?

Join us for a weekend of queertranstastic fun, learning, workshops, networking, revelry, and more! The Queer Gathering takes place at Twin Oaks Community in rural central Virginia, and we invite you to come participate as an attendee, workshop presenter, and/or performer. The gathering will be a safe(r) and supportive camping event for queer folks and allies of all ages to come together, skill share, make art, build community, dance, and organize.

This is a participant-led/co-created event, so while the organizing team will setup the event site and create a general schedule of activities, the content is largely up to YOU! There is opportunity to lead a workshop, DJ some of the dance party, bring your instruments to jam, offer an interest/identity-based meet-up (BIPOC dinner, non-binary lunch, comic book breakfast, etc), and more! Just let us know ahead of time at twinoaksqueergathering@gmail.com or post a card on the bulletin board when you get here!

Find more posts and pictures on our Facebook and Instagram pages.

Travel stipends are available to anyone who needs them! No one will be turned away for lack of funds! Priority to BIPOC and trans folks. Email us at twinoaksqueergathering@gmail.com to make a request
