About this Event
We will gather as a group on the front encolosed patio. This fun annual event brings the LGBTQ+ community together for delicious food and conversation. It's free to attend (no cover.) You simply pay for whatever you order on your own separate credit card; there's no group tab to worry about.
This event officially starts at 4 p.m. at Freddie's Beach Bar & Restaurant, 555 23rd St. S, Arlington, Virginia 22202. That may seem early, but it guarantees us prime seating and the best service. We will gather on the front patio for conversation and dinner.
The all-you-can-eat buffet includes a champagne or mimosa OR coffee/tea or soft drink for only $24.99. The buffet includes hand carved turkey, spiral ham, cranberry sauces, candied yams, green been casserole, and so much more! Yummy desserts will also be on the piano. The regular menu may also be available for those with dietary restrictions.
This event is hosted by Go Gay DC, Washington DC's inclusive LGBTQ+ community focused on friendship, leadership, and service. Visit https://www.meetup.com/GoGayDC
