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.
Runs 6–8 p.m. No purchase necessary, but Lotus offers a full dry bar/mocktail menu plus espresso, teas, sodas, and coffee. Outside food is allowed; no outside beverages. Venue is all-ages, but this event is 18+.
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.
