Trans Community Night

Invitation Only · Ages 18+

DCATS Trans Community Nights are twice-yearly gatherings for trans, nonbinary, and gender-diverse people across the DMV to come together, connect, and celebrate community.

These events are designed to be welcoming, social, and low-pressure, with space to meet new people, reconnect with familiar faces, and spend time together in a trans-centered environment. Whether you’re new to DCATS or deeply rooted in the community, there’s a place for you here.
