REBELLE ZINE: FANCY NANCY WONDER LAUNCH PARTY & CAKE PICNIC

Rebelle Zine is a creative collective based in Toronto, Canada. Our multi-platform publication highlights diverse women and queer creatives and entrepreneurs. Find us at rebellezine.com and @rebellezine (Instagram/TikTok).

Rebelle Zine is celebrating the launch of our eighth issue, WONDER. This issue invites readers on a nostalgic journey to reconnect with their inner child and embrace play and whimsy as powerful forms of resistance in adulthood. Our launch party will bring this theme to life through an immersive, colourful, and joyfully playful gathering inspired by the beloved childhood character Fancy Nancy.

Our WONDER Launch Party is a celebration of Rebelle Zine’s eighth issue release, and we want you to be there! It will serve as a safe and affirming space where attendees can embrace joy, creativity, and connection while supporting Rebelle Zine’s mission of amplifying diverse voices in the arts.

When? Thursday, November 27th from 6-9pm

Where? Society Clubhouse (967 College St, Toronto)

Located at the intersection of College and Dovercourt, the Society Clubhouse is a women-owned, community-driven space that includes a taproom, bottle shop, artisan market, and event space.

The Society Clubhouse offers dozens of great local snacks available for purchase as well as the following warm snacks at the bar:

-Gaucho Pies: empanadas in pulled pork, chimichurri chicken and (vegan) aloo gobi

-Sausage Party: vegan pretzels with mustard dipping sauce and vegan cookies (ginger molasses and chocolate chip)

They also have dozens of awesome alcohol drinks such as craft beers, local wines, mixes drinks and Civil Pours cocktails as well as dozens of non-alcohol drinks such as brewed coffee, espresso based drinks, hot chocolate, kombuchas and sparkling waters!

We will be hosting a mini cake picnic at the event, and we invite you to participate! We’re doing things a bit differently than what you might have seen on TikTok at other cake picnics – instead of sampling cakes, you’ll have the chance to win a whole cake to take home in our raffle! Here’s how it works:

• Want to bring a cake? We have limited spots for cake contributors! If you bring a cake, you’ll receive 5 raffle tickets as a thank-you.
• Can’t bake but love cake? General tickets include 1 raffle ticket to enter for a chance to win a cake. Raffle tickets will be available for purchase at the event via cash/e-transfer for: $2 for 1 ticket, $5 for 3 tickets, or $20 for 20 tickets. All raffle proceeds will go to the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund.

• Cake size: Must be no larger than 8x8x5 inches.
• Labelling: All cakes must include a label with: Flavour, Allergen and dietary info (e.g. contains nuts, gluten-free, vegan, etc.)
• Packaging: You’re welcome to bring your cake in a container you’d like to bring back home, or use packaging that others can take home with the cake. We’ll also have boxes and bags available at the event for guests to take their cakes home.
• Drop-off time: Cakes must be brought between 6:00-6:30pm to be included in the raffle.
• Please note that we do not have access to a refrigerator so please only bring cakes that are okay to stay at room temperature for a few hours.

We would be remiss if we celebrated our childhoods without acknowledging the suffering that so many children are going through every day. For that reason, our team has chosen to donate all proceeds of our raffle sales to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF). Gaza is facing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis, and PCRF is on the ground, providing urgent medical aid, food, and life-saving treatment to those in desperate need, including orphans and amputees.

A special thank you to Juju Bakes, who will be donating a cake for the raffle!
