Join us for the 2nd Annual Drag Queen Story Time at both locations of October Cafe!

Families, friends, and pumpkins of all ages are invited to enjoy an inclusive and joy-filled experience at October Cafe. We have two amazing Queens who will be reading books and performing.

We’re also excited to partner with New Book Joy, a beloved local booktique, who will be providing the Queens’ story selections and offering a curated collection of books available for purchase during the event.

Come celebrate kindness, self-expression, and the power of community with us at both October Cafe locations. See you soon, Pumpkins!💛🎃
