1st Thursday Tradition

Our legendary First Thursday streak is officially on for January 2026! We're defying the calendar and kicking off the year right where we always belong: at the fabulous Napalese Lounge on the evening of New Year's Day itself, Thursday, January 1, 2026 at 6:30 pm.

We considered shifting it, but traditions are meant to be kept alive (blizzards excluded!) and we're not about to break an eight-year run for a holiday. Besides, the second Thursday is already booked for the fantastic Trans Youth Drop-In event at Dave & Busters.

Can't wait until January 1st to raise a glass? No worries as the Napalese Lounge will host a special New Year's Eve festivites on December 31st, and you know some of us will be there to jumpstart the party.

Let's make our first gathering of 2026 the best one yet. Hope to see you there!
