This Cheers, Queers! is the alcohol-free edition at Lotus Brew: a casual, welcoming meet-and-greet for West Michigan’s trans and queer community, with an extra spooky vibe. Costumes are encouraged; no contest this year. Co-sponsored by GR Trans Foundation and GR Pride Center.

Getting there: bike racks nearby; Bus 6 to Lake/Diamond, then a half-block south; street parking is free after 7 p.m. Wheelchair access via the ramped side door in the alley (uneven pavement and a small bump at the threshold). Two all-gender restrooms; it can get loud when busy.
