Spring Gathering 2026 Social Hour & Evening Themes

Among the highlights of each day at the gatherings are the late afternoon social hour parties and evening events.

Just for fun, the social hour parties and evening events have a different theme each day. While nudity is still the overall rule, gathering attendees are encouraged (but not required) to wear accessories that correspond to the theme for the social hour and evening. Social hour “costumes” can range from a simple cap or hat to the outlandish.

Fri 5/29: Black & Gold
Keep it simple and wear your favorite sports team’s baseball cap!

Sat 5/30: Disco
Express yourself wearing your favorite 70’s disco accessories.

Sun 5/31: Wedding Party

It is as family wedding, wear your favorite accessories.

Mon 6/1: Viva Mexico!
Wear your favorite hat and accessories.

Tue 6/2: Beyond the Blue
Wear your favorite hat and accessories.

Wed 6/3: I’m a Lumber Jack and I’m ok.
In the immortal words of Monty Python
“Oh, I’m a lumberjack, and I’m okay
I sleep all night and I work all day
He’s a lumberjack, and he’s okay
He sleeps all night and he works all day”

Thu 6/4: Leather Fantasies
Do the pheromones of a man in leather whip you into an orgasmic frenzy? If the answer is “Yes Sir!” then tonight is your night to get intoxicated because the masculine aroma of men in black leather fills the air. Why knot polish your motorcycle boots, muscle into your armbands, tighten your harness, and unzip your jockstrap. It’s time to wear your favorite leather and chain accessories, and be prepared to smell, lick, whip, suck, fuck, and cum.

Fri 6/5: Diamonds Forever
In the immortal words of Lady Gaga, “Don’t be a Drag, Be a Queen!” It’s time for YOU to be a drag queen this afternoon! Time to wear your wig, boa, tiara, sequins and pumps and wear it proudly! Be the fiercest queen you can be… and choose an appropriate name for your persona: Will you be: Anita Procedure, Dixie Normous, Eileen Sideways, Wilma Titzgro or Izzy Unkutt? How about Mimi Furst, Ida Slapter, or Ivy Profen?! Just remember, “it’s not personal, it’s DRAG!” Perhaps you’ll find paradise in a glorious ensemble, in a totally silly frock, or in the man wearing one… Everyone’s a Queen this afternoon whether you’re wearing a tiara, a crown or just wish you had the nerve!

Sat 6/6: 80’s and 90’s Revival

Wear your favorite 80’s and 90’s accessories.
