OCQC’s 1st Big Birthday Bash
Join us to celebrate OCQC’s first full year of operations! We’re pulling out all the stops for our first birthday: an artistic showcase highlighting local visual and performance artists, live music, hors d’oeuvres & signature drinks, interactive art, a silent auction, and more! We will also be honoring local change-makers for their contributions to the LGBTQ+ community. Stay tuned on Instagram for artist, performer, and honoree announcements.

DISCLAIMER – we are aware this falls on the same day as the upcoming scheduled No Kings day and fully support the No Kings movement. Let’s hit the streets then ride the wave of energy into a celebration of trans and queer joy – both acts are forms of resistance!
