PITCH… PLEASE: Beers 4 Queers + Queer Karaoke

June 6th
Smoking 116 Bistro, Downtown Belleville
Beers 4 Queers at 6PM | Karaoke kicks off at 8PM
19+ Event | No Cover

Come for the beers, stay for the ballads — or bangers, or Britney… we don’t judge. 
PITCH… PLEASE is a two-part night of queer connection and community hosted by Bay of Quinte Pride, all in one welcoming, come-as-you-are space.

6:00 PM — Beers 4 Queers:
Start the evening with a relaxed, pub-style social. Whether you’re reconnecting with old friends or meeting new ones, this is a chill space to grab a drink, mix, mingle, and just be. Allies welcome, always.

8:00 PM — Queer Karaoke:
The mic is yours. Step up and sing your heart out in the most supportive room you’ll ever belt it out in. Whether you’re slaying Beyoncé or mumbling through Meatloaf, it’s all love and zero judgment. A host will keep things moving, names will be called, and the vibes will be immaculate.

No cover. No pressure. No wrong notes.
Just queer joy, fearless expression, and a hell of a good time.
