This Halloween, join us to celebrate the work of Q Plus at...
The 2026 Very Gay Halloween Soirée!

This year's Soirée will be hosted at Grace's Place in Meriden on October 10, 2026, from 2-5pm. Highlights of this year's Soirée:

Put your skills to the test with a pumpkin painting contest: paint a pumpkin and put it on display for everyone to vote on! (Please note: pumpkins and paint supplies will be provided at the event. Pumpkins must be painted on-site to be eligible for the contest)
Wear your spookiest, most glamorous, or most creative costume and enter the costume contest!
Watch drag performers who will knock your socks off!
Food is provided!
Enjoy coffee drinks and mocktails created by Grace's Place! (Purchase Required)

Tickets are $20 suggested donation for general admission.

We encourage you to bring small bills, both for voting on your favorite painted pumpkin and to tip our incredible drag performers. All proceeds from tickets, drag performances, and voting goes to supporting queer youth through Q Plus.

We encourage you to bring your friends and family (chosen, found, or otherwise) and support Q Plus!
