Build strength and community on the mat. This weekly martial arts class at the Pride Center brings together queer folks of all skill levels for training that's as much about finding your power as it is about learning technique. A space where you can be yourself while getting a real workout.

A grounding, LGBTQ+-affirming circle to remember and mourn the fathers, grandfathers, and paternal figures in your life. Led by end-of-life doula Hannah Yore, this gathering honors grief in all its forms—whether connected to death, dementia, estrangement, or other kinds of absence. Come as you are. Sliding scale tickets available.

Tuesday nights at Rise belong to the bingo lovers who show up for free games, fabulous prizes, and Evita Loca keeping the energy high. Happy hour specials run until 9pm, and there's food to keep you fueled between rounds. It's the kind of low-key, reliably fun midweek thing that actually gets people off the couch.

National Queer Theater's festival centers the voices of artists from countries where queerness is criminalized or censored—groundbreaking work that couldn't exist anywhere else. This is theater as resistance, storytelling as survival, and a platform for artists whose work demands to be heard.

Stelana Stokos brings the chaos and glamour to Balcon Salon every Tuesday at 7PM. Expect a drag show that's equal parts theatrical and unfiltered—this is the kind of Tuesday night reset that actually makes sense. The vibe is high energy, the crowd gets it, and you'll leave wondering why you don't do this every week.

The Duplex's weekly open mic night upstairs is where local comedians get stage time and the crowd gets real laughs. Sign-up starts at 5pm, shows run 7-9pm—low-key, unpretentious, and the kind of Tuesday night that actually gives you a reason to get out.
