Twigs & Figs plant shop is inviting the Queer community and others across the gender and sexuality spectrum to celebrate this Valentine’s Day weekend in Charlotte with a Sweetarts & Rainbow Hearts Queer Mixer.
The event is open to those 18 and older and will feature color-coded wristband to let others know if you are looking for love, hoping to make a few friends — or both.
“Outside of Pride month, programming and events for the Queer community is often pushed to the sidelines or reserved for the nightlife scene,” Twigs & Figs co-owner Treena Chaudhuri said. “Our love is radical, our existence is magical, so let’s celebrate and create that space.”
Here are the details:
WHAT TO EXPECT: Valentine’s party games, plant crafts, Twigs & Figs pronoun pins, sweet treats and a drag performance.
WHEN: Saturday, Feb. 12 at 6 p.m.
WHERE: 15205 John J Delaney Drive #B, Charlotte, North Carolina 28277
NEIGHBORHOOD: Ballantyne
COST: Tickets are $10 online at Twigs & Figs.
EXTRAS: Alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks will be available for purchase.
