Q House Centennial Gala
The Dixwell "Q" House Centennial Gala marks a significant milestone for the "Q" House, coinciding with its centennial anniversary this year. Since reopening in November 2021, the "Q" House has been a beacon of community strength and resilience, providing vital services and opportunities to the residents of New Haven.
The evening will begin with a pre-reception on the Daniel Y. Stewart Plaza, where guests will be offered refreshing mocktails and light appetizers. This will set the stage for an unforgettable night ahead, fostering connections and reflecting on the "Q" House's profound influence on the community. Later, the festivities will continue with dancing and more food! Throughout the evening, there will be reflections on the "Q" House's milestones, highlighting its role as a cultural hub and a catalyst for positive change in New Haven.
