Queer Magical Gatherings

Queer Magical Gatherings

Seeking fellow planeswalkers? Great. Don't know what a planeswalker is? Even better! Cross the threshold into a magical gathering where MTG newbies and epic deck-wielders are equals. We're setting the table (literally) for a night of gaming at Wicked Eden and you (yes you, boo) are invited. Always wanted to learn how to play Magic: The Gathering but didn't have a safe, inclusive space to learn in? You do now. Want an appreciative audience for that big, impressive deck of yours? They'll be coming too! No gatekeeping, no bad vibes—just combos, spells, and new friends letting their nerd flag fly with Pride. Cloaks optional. Sparkle encouraged.

About the Event

This is a casual, open Magic: The Gathering night. All experience levels are welcome. We do ask that you sign up in advance so we know how many folks to expect.

Doors open when event starts, at 7pm. Parking available in the front and back lot. If parking in the neighborhood, please be mindful of driveways and respectful of our neighbors.

VOLUNTEERS

We LOVE volunteers! Join our team of community volunteers, and you will find new friends, a support system, and a tight-knit center of empowerment. 

By volunteering with us, you can make a meaningful impact on people's lives. Still, you will also get perks such as discounted or free access to our events and classes and, most importantly, collaborative input into what we do here. Your ideas are important to us, and as a volunteer, we want you to feel like you're part of our community: one that celebrates who you are and supports your journey.

INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY

We're committed to inclusivity. Our community is a tapestry of individuals from diverse racial, ethnic, and social backgrounds, including all gender identities and expressions. We encourage everyone to engage with empathy and curiosity, always asking rather than assuming someone's identity or preferences. Our space is and always will be wheelchair accessible, with multiple spaces for varying sensory needs.
