Queers Without Beers

Society & Politics, Performance, Wellness
Mar 20 2026 | 8 - 11pm
Memorial Union

Join the WUD Performing Arts, Society & Politics, and Wellness Committees for Queers Without Beers: an unforgettable night celebrating queerness, recovery, and community. Come for the drag, stay for the dancing, and have the time of your life!

This event makes bold, inclusive, and accessible nightlife on campus a reality. Creating sober spaces within queer nightlife helps ensure that everyone, including those in recovery, those who choose not to drink, and those seeking safer environments, can fully participate in celebrating queer community and connection.

Event details read: March 20, 8–11 PM with mental health resource tabling, drag performance, music and dancing, mocktails, and appetizers, alongside the WUD Performing Arts, Society & Politics, and Wellness Committee logos as the event hosts.
