The Big Gay Happy Hour: Kickoff Edition!
Hey family, it’s time to shake up your routine and get into something fabulously fresh!
Introducing The Big Gay Happy Hour, your new monthly excuse to sip, mingle, and celebrate all things queer and local. This isn’t just a happy hour; it’s a whole experience—and a fundraiser for our iconic Be Proud! Fest, where every dollar helps keep this community celebration FREE and fabulous.
For our very first soirée, we’re taking over The Wicked Wolf!
This whimsical gem in Long Beach serves up the ultimate vibes: enchanting decor, divine drinks, and a setting will make you think you’re an fairy tale.
Here’s why you can’t miss this (must be 21+)
Mocktail Mania:
Dry January? No problem! The Wicked Wolf has the most drool-worthy selection of mocktails in town. From fruity concoctions to herbaceous elixirs, their non-alcoholic game is STRONG.
Happy Hour Steals:
Mocktails for just $9?! Yassss. You can sip your way through the menu guilt-free, and still be good to drive home.
Don’t Worry, Boozy Bettys!
Not feeling mocktails? They’ve got all your favorite alcoholic delights too—including spiked versions of the mocktails.
Why It Matters:
This isn’t just a party; it’s a purpose. Every cent of your small entrance fee goes directly to supporting Be Proud! Fest, a celebration of local queer talent, businesses, and community.
Come through, support local, and let’s make magic happen together. Bring your besties, your boos, or come solo—we promise you’ll leave with new friends and a happy heart. See you at The Wicked Wolf for the inaugural Big Gay Happy Hour!
