Queer Dance Party on Lag B'Omer

Tickets/RSVPs open 4 weeks prior to the event (4/26). You will receive our address upon registration.

Tonight is Lag B'Omer, the 33rd day of the Omer. It's traditional to refrain from listening to instrumental music throughout the Omer -- except on this day! The day has held different meanings, but it's often celebrated with a bonfire.

We're holding a dance party that is open to anyone who identifies as queer and/or trans. Come enjoy recorded music and a campfire, and celebrate the holiday.

This event is outdoors and distanced, but please **bring a mask** in case there are times where we need to be in closer proximity.

By the way, Yesod Farm+Kitchen is co-sponsoring another event that afternoon. We encourage you to check out the book reading at Firestorm Books from 1-3pm on May 26. It's a special event with the authors of For Times Such as These: A Radical's Guide to the Jewish Year.

ACCESSIBILITY

We will be dancing on a grassy lawn that is slightly sloped in some areas, and more noticably sloped in others. There is a cement pathway from the accessible parking spots to the event area. There is limited/dim lighting in the dance area.  General parking is a 3 minute uphill walk away from the dance venue and the walkway is currently not lit. Accessible parking is available a few hundred feet from the dance area. There will be chairs and picnic blankets for seating. The bathroom is a composting toilet and cold water handwashing station. Please email info@yesodfarm.org with accessibility requests and questions.

COVID

Please stay home if you are not feeling well or if you have been exposed to someone with symptoms or who has tested positive for COVID in the past 10 days. We ask that everyone brings their own mask. We will also have masks available. Individuals can choose how close/distanced they are from each other throughout the event.

CONSENT

You must ask and receive enthusiastic verbal consent before moving within 6 feet unmasked or touching another person, when you're dancing and throughout the event.

ALCOHOL

Yesod will provide light snacks and drinks (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic). Please limit your drinking to take care of yourself and others. We expect everyone to maintain enough sobriety to act respectfully, and no one will consume more than 2 servings of alcohol. Know that we’re on a dark winding road, and make a plan to get home safely. If you would like any support around being a space with alcohol, please say so in your registration form. 

TICKETS

Please reserve 1 ticket per guest. This event is free, and we welcome donations to support Yesod Farm+Kitchen. We encourage BIPOC to sign up for free tickets, and white community members to make a personally meaningful contribution, if you’re able. We also encourage you to join Yesod in making a donation to the Reparations Stakeholder Authority of Asheville (RSAA).
