WEEKEND ROUNDUP: A Guerilla Queer Bar, Gay Day at Six Flags and More

Revelers at a recent The Welcoming Committee takeover.

HIGHLIGHT: The Welcoming Committee (TWC) — a group of homo folk in Boston who set up “Guerrilla Queer Bars” at typically straight places around Beantown — are taking over Philly for the first time on Friday. The event promises to be a recurring thing on the first Friday of every month, with the first one being at Grace Tavern. Expect a diverse crowd of folks that you may not typically see in the Gayborhood. 9 p.m., free, Grace Tavern, 2229 Grays Ferry Ave. 

FRIDAY:

• Philadelphia Theatre Co. is throwing a Night Carnival with “dirt cheap booze” and “electro-circus music“
• West Philly’s gay-owned Farm 51 is throwing a fall hootenanny to celebrate a recent expansion
• Cory Wade Hindorff is hosting a Top Model viewing party at Tabu
• This month’s Thank Goodness it’s OMG! promises to be a “back-to-school stripdown”
• CUTN PASTE is celebrating back-to-school season, too, with DJ NOLiTA SELECTOR

SATURDAY:

• It’s Gay Day at Six Flags Great Adventure!
• Head West Philly-ward for an awesome craft fair in the Woodlands
• Bangout your bouffant at The Barbary
• The Trestle Inn is still celebrating summer … with Donna Summer
