For the first hour (12-1PM), we’re prioritizing access & comfort for anyone who prefers to avoid crowds (due to mobility, anxiety, scents, etc). For everyone else, please consider coming after 1PM. If you come at 12PM and are wearing scents, we will ask you to return at 1PM. Everyone, all day: please do not wear any scents, including essential oils, to increase access for people with chemical sensitivity.

Please email queermagicmakers@gmail.com for details and to confirm. ▽▽▽ FREE + SLIDING SCALE ▽▽▽ Magic Makers is free, with a suggested donation of $5-25 and no one turned away for lack of funds. Last year your donations raised $3700 for the The BlackOut Collective to support radical Black organizing, action, and healing. This year, we will be collecting donations at the door to benefit TGI Justice Project (TGIJP). TGIJP is a group of transgender people – inside and outside of prison – creating a united family in the struggle for survival and freedom.
