Dim Sum Sundays: <\/strong>We have our monthly Dim Sums on the first Sunday of every month. Our next ones are August 2, September 6 and October 4, 2026. We meet on the second floor of Furama Restaurant, 4936 N. Broadway in Chicago at 12:30 p.m. Right after, we trek over to SoFo at 4923 N. Clark for libations. Also, some of us pre-Game at Fat Cat, 4840 N. Clark at 11:30 a.m. So drop by anytime pre- and post-Dim Sum!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFC at Market Days:<\/strong> Saturday, August 8, 2026 – 1 p.m. (moved from noon to one hour later) at the corner of Addison and Halsted. We’ll meet in the Shell station parking lot at Addison and Halsted. Look for Angel A. Here’s to another romp in the ocean of LGBTQ beauties!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFC at Hollywood Beach:<\/strong> Sunday, August 16, 2026 – 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. We’ll meet in our usual spot on the south end of the beach under the trees. More details to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFC’s Anniversary Party:<\/strong> Saturday, Aug. 29, 2026 at 2 p.m. We’ll head to the Halsted Hot Tub, where Mike and Dan will host us once again in their fabulous rooftop venue in Boystown. The address is 3526 N. Halsted. BYOB and potluck, but we’ll have basic beer, wine and starter liquor\/mixers. We’ll also be charging our annual dues of $25\/person or $40 for couples. DJ and entertainment will be provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Halloween Party and Northalsted Parade:<\/strong> Saturday, October 31, 2026 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Lucky Horseshoe, 3169 N. Halsted in Chicago. This year, Halloween night falls on a Saturday. To help with our traditional logistics of having a party before Halloween night, we’re combining our annual meet-up at Lucky Horseshoe, 3169 N. Halsted in Chicago, with our typical party. So, our AFC Halloween Party will be on Halloween night. We’ll meet where we typically do before the parade, at Lucky Horseshoe, but three hours earlier. We’ll party in the back room and then march or watch the parade. It’ll be potluck, so bring some dishes or snacks to share. Cash bar up front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
