The Black Hills' LGBTQIA+ events calendar, affirming business directory, and the monthly gathering that ties it together. Everything happening, in one place, kept current.
Drag shows, socials, support groups, and Pride events across the Black Hills. Filter by what you're looking for.
Every listing here is opt-in. A business appears only after it asks to. Nobody is added without saying yes first.
Once a month, on the first Thursday, we take over a different business somewhere in the Hills. Show up alone, show up with friends, show up and leave after twenty minutes. No program, no speeches, no cover.
It rotates on purpose. A venue hosts, a hundred people walk through the door on a slow weeknight, and that business earns its place in the directory. The calendar is the memory. This is the engine.
You provide the room and your normal staff. We bring the crowd and the promotion. No fee either direction.
Offer to hostThe first one is still ahead of us. This is where the map fills in: a new place every month, and every one of them a business that opened its doors to us.
Coming soon
First Thursday of the month, 5:30 – 8:30 pm

$50per year · tax-deductible
Priced at $50 deliberately: under the IRS $75 annual-membership threshold, so the full amount stays tax-deductible and no valuation disclosure is required.
Tell people you're a safe place to walk into. You get a directory listing, a window decal, and a spot in the First Thursday rotation if you want one.
We confirm every listing with you before it goes live. Nobody appears in this directory without opting in first.
Drag shows, socials, support groups, fundraisers, anything. Free, and it stays free.
