Join us for Kindling Collective’s annual fundraiser: Queer  Outside, stories of queer adventure, joy, fear, growth, and discovery in  nature. We'll gather for an evening of stories, community building, and  tasty food and drinks at Oxbow Blending & Bottling on December 17th, 2025.

Kindling Collective is a queer-centered gear library and  education center supporting people in growing and sustaining  relationships with the natural world and each other. Your support  allows us to offer low-cost outdoor events and trips for queer and BIPOC  folks throughout Maine; provide our community access to high-quality  outdoor gear; and adequately compensate our employees and instructors.

Stories told by Danielle Arroyo, Chandler Clothier, Caroline Hadilaksono, Milo Young-Perez, and Christopher Horack.

Raffle tickets for super fun prize bundles available here! Raffle winners will be drawn during the show <3
