Pizzas & Pop-Ups for Trans Day of Visibility!

It’s Wednesday AND we’re hosting a fun pop-up market to continue our Trans Day of Visibility Celebration! This market will be happening along with our regular Pizza Night.

For more information about our pizza night visit ORIGIN Breads website: https://www.originbreads.com/pizza

Our pop-up Market will be from 5pm-8pm and will feature the following local businesses:

A Room of One’s Own Bookstore

Mel’s Crafty Critters

Grae Goods

AND we’ll have Girl Scout Troop #8187 here selling their delicious cookies!

You can shop local then enjoy some delicious pizzas from ORIGIN Breads. Then stay for the “Transperience” Viewing at 8pm. Which will be our current art show on display.

The “Transperience” exhibit aims to provide the experience of Trans persons who can sort through the confusion that swirls around their lives and embrace their authentic selves, experience profound joy, peace and gender euphoria not dysphoria. To be trans is to be misunderstood, discriminated against, bullied, often rejected by spouses, family, friends, and co-workers. Those who enter the installation will gain a glimpse into the trans femme experience.

Trans Day of Visibility Resource Fair & Celebration

We are hosting our 4th Annual Transgender Day of Visibility Celebration on Saturday, March 29, 2025!

This year’s event features a resource fair from 3-7 p.m. that brings together 15+ nonprofit organizations, care providers, advocates, artists, vendors, and supporters, including:

From 3 p.m. to 4 p.m., the Trans Day of Visibility resource fair will be masks required. Masks will be required to enter during this time; while we will provide disposable masks at the door, please bring your own to cut down on waste. The resource fair will conclude at 7 p.m.
The celebration will continue with Bingo presented by local Drag performer, Kendra Banx$. The Bingo will begin at 7:30 p.m. and is $10 to participate.
“We are hoping to create a community event that draws allies and members of the trans, nonbinary and greater LGBTQ+ community,” says Giant Jones Brewing co-owner, Erika Jones. “In the past few years it has been a real testament of joy and support, and that is what we are aiming to create with this resource fair – to connect with people and resources that exist in our community to support folks who are trans, nonbinary, LGBTQ+ and allies.”
This is the 4th year Giant Jones Brewing has hosted a Trans Day of Visibility Celebration. International Transgender Day of Visibility is Monday, March 31 and “celebrates the joy and resilience of trans and nonbinary people everywhere by elevating voices and experiences from these communities,” according to the Human Rights Campaign.
“As a trans and women-owned and operated brewery, it’s important to us to be visible in the community, and to celebrate other trans folks doing great things,” says Giant Jones Brewer and Co-Owner, Jessica Jones. “Being an out, trans person, and visible because of our business, means that we have the opportunity to highlight valuable roles trans people play in the community.”
