A Pride & Prejudice-inspired launch party + fundraiser for Tony’s Place

📍 Social Beer Garden, 3101 San Jacinto St, Houston, TX 77004
🕕 6–11 PM
🎟️ RSVP for Free Tickets
We’re launching our new book club for movie lovers, The Book Club Was Better, with a night of regency flair in support of Tony’s Place, a Houston non-profit organization, dedicated to supporting and empowering LGBTQ+ youth, ages 14 to 25, by providing a safe space, key services, and valuable programming.
Join us for More Pride, Less Prejudice, a cozy open-air market and movie night tribute to that iconic love story... the one with the stormy stares, emotional piano solos, and a hand flex that lives rent-free in our hearts.*
🎨 6–8 PM | Regency-Inspired Arts & Crafts Market
Wander through a one-of-a-kind market featuring hands-on workshops, local artisans, and themed treats. And the best part? All participating vendors are donating a portion of the night's proceeds to Tony’s Place, so every purchase directly supports LGBTQ+ youth in Houston.
