Come Vibe With Us Before Summer Ends!
Let’s send summer off right, with laughter, sunshine, and your people. Lesbifriends in the Park is a free, low-key gathering for Black queer women and nonbinary folks to connect, relax, and enjoy the tail end of the season together. Whether you’re new to the crew or part of the fam, you’re welcome to bring your blanket, your snacks, and your whole self.
We’ll be hanging near the Anacostia Skating Pavilion, a scenic riverside space with shade, breeze, and room to spread out. Free parking is available in the lot right next to the skating pavilion. Look for the Lesbifriends signs, music, and familiar faces; we’ll be easy to find.
What to Bring
This is a community-powered gathering (let’s call it a “blanket social”) — we’ll bring a few shared essentials, but we invite you to show up with whatever makes you feel cozy and festive:
Your own food, drinks, and/or snacks to share
Blankets, lawn chairs, and/or folding seats
Outdoor games, cards, and/or something fun to pass around
A speaker if you want to DJ for a bit
Water bottle + sun protection
A spirit of ease, openness, and joy ✨
What LBF Will Provide
A welcoming host and signage so you know you’re in the right place
Light drinks and small snacks
Icebreakers and games to help folks mix and mingle
Good vibes, music, and space to just be
This isn’t a formal event or catered affair, it’s a casual, come-as-you-are space rooted in connection and care. Stay for the whole time or just drop in and say hi.
Who This Event Is For
This event is by and for Black queer women. Allies are welcome when personally invited by someone in the community. The vibe is relaxed, joyful, and sober-friendly. We’re here to build something beautiful and respectful together.
Why You Should Join Us
Come laugh, lounge, flirt, or just vibe in a space made for us, by us. Whether you’re rolling deep or showing up solo, there’s a spot for you on the blanket. It’s a free, feel-good way to spend a summer afternoon surrounded by queer joy, community, and connection.
No pressure, no frills, just good people and a reason to be outside together.
