🌈🎬 WHAT AN OPENING NIGHT!

The Big Q***r Weekend officially hit the red carpet last Friday at Galaxy Theatres Austin! We were thrilled to welcome Lady Ch*****ne writer, director and star D’Arcy Drollinger, alongside The Best Little Tiny Park in Texas director Margaret Barry and the one-and-only Gary Schumann.

Big laughs, tiny parks, fabulous people, and a great way to kick off the Big Q***r Weekend. 🥂

🌈 Join us this Thursday for our Monthly Luncheon - October 2026 with the City's Human Rights Division at Casa Chapala!

We’re excited to welcome Shafina Khaki, Esq., Human Rights Officer for the City of Austin, for a timely conversation about the City’s first Human Rights Framework and what its findings mean for Austin’s small business community.

Shafina will share key highlights from the framework, including data and considerations from the City’s review process, what comes next as the work moves into implementation, and opportunities for businesses and community stakeholders to engage.

We’ll explore where human rights, inclusion, and entrepreneurship intersect and how local businesses can turn those insights into meaningful practices.

Plus, enjoy lunch at Casa Chapala, connect with fellow Chamber members and community leaders, and grow your network!
