Freedom To Flip Out: A Juneteenth pinball celebration—community, competition, and family fun. Kids under 10 play FREE!!! Freedom To Flip Out (FTFO) returns for its 2nd Annual Juneteenth Celebration—bringing community, competition, and culture together through pinball. Join Us!!! Pinball isn’t something many of us grew up around. That lack of exposure is exactly why this event exists. Freedom To Flip Out is about creating space for Black people to discover, learn, and enjoy pinball—together. Whether you’re brand new or already love the game, this event is designed to be welcoming, accessible, and fun for everyone. 📍 Event Details Date: Saturday, June 20, 2026 Location: Lyman’s Tavern (Washington, DC) Entry: Free (games are pay-to-play) 🕒 Schedule 1:00 PM — Welcome + Open Play 3:00 PM — Beginner Tutorial (for anyone who wants to learn) 3:30 PM — Flipper Frenzy Tournament 4:45 PM — Awards + Closing Remarks After the event, stick around for more games, drinks, and good company. ✊🏾 Why This Matters Pinball is a skill-based game, a creative medium, and a social experience—but it hasn’t always been visible or accessible to everyone. FTFO is about changing that. By building community and creating intentional spaces, we’re opening the door for more people—especially Black families—to discover something new together. 👨🏾‍👩🏾‍👧🏾 A True All-Ages Experience This is a family-friendly event designed for all ages—whether you’re coming with friends, bringing your kids, or just curious to try something new. Black children under 10 play FREE (with a parent). This isn’t just about playing games— It’s about creating moments and building community. Bring your child, watch them play their first game, and experience that moment when they hit their first shot or get their first multiball. Those are the kinds of memories that stick. And along the way, you might just find yourself—and your child—making new friends. 👥 Who It’s For First-time players Families and kids Casual players Competitive players Anyone curious about pinball Come solo, bring your people, or make it a family outing. Allies are welcome. But bring your Black friends too. Showing up is good—contributing to the community is even better. 🎯 What to Expect Frenzy Tournament with a cash prize Open Play on a wide variety of pinball machines Beginner-Friendly Environment — no experience needed Free Stickers & Pins for participants A welcoming space centered on community and fun 🔥 Pull Up. Lock In. Flip Out. 🙏🏾 Special thanks to Lyman’s Tavern for hosting 🎁 Sponsored by Super Jackpot Pins

Board Game Speed Dating for Jewish Singles - (Ages 20s & 30s)

Finding someone can be painful. But board games are always awesome. So what if you combined board games and searching for a partner? Searching for a partner can be horrifically painful. But board games are always awesome. So what if you combined board games and finding a partner? Picture this: You sit down for a night of games. A gaming concierge walks you through several games over the course of the night. You play classics you love and discover brand new games you've never heard of, playing each with a different group of fun singles. All while in a great establishment with plenty of delicious options on tap. At the end of the night, you give your gaming concierge a list of the folks you met that you'd like to date and a list of those you met that you'd like to just hang out with as friends. If any two people put down the same name as each other in either column, then your gaming concierge will make sure you get each other's e-mail address and you can coordinate a time to hang out. Best case scenario: You find true love, discover some awesome board games, and make some new friends. Bad case scenario: You accomplish only one of those three things, which is still pretty great. Worst case scenario: There will be alcohol. This event is sponsored by Luv With Lev, a DC-area organization dedicated to Jewish matchmaking. It is specifically for Jewish single men & women in their 20s and 30s, but in every other way, it will run the same as our other board game speed dating events. We also have more generalized events, as well as LGBTQIA+ events. And we're hoping to add events to serve even more people in the future! Before you decide to buy tickets, a few basics we should cover: 1) To stay up-to-date on everything we have going on at Quirk Events, follow us on Instagram here! 2) Refunds are only available to those who cancel with more than 48 hours' notice, in order to make sure we have enough time to find a replacement for you and keep the event well-populated. (Exceptions will be made for emergency situations on a case-by-case basis). After that, we're blowing the money from your ticket sale on something awesome and nonrefundable. 3) If we get to 24 hours before the event and still haven't sold five tickets for each gender, we will cancel the event (and notify you). When we have run this event in the past, tickets have consistently sold very well, so we don't expect this to happen. But we thought we should cover this in case it came up. 4) How many games we have and which ones we use will be based in part on how many people attend, so we can't tell you for sure what we'll have right now. But the goal is for all of them to be fun, light, easy-to-learn games. Selection will include games from both the something-you-have-played-before category and the something-you-haven't-played-before category. The games are also chosen because they often tend to spark conversation and leave room for chatting with new people as you play. All games will be group games, meaning you'll get a chance to meet a handful of people with each new round. Note: While Dacha Beer Garden is primarily an outdoor venue, this particular event will take place in their indoor private event space. Please note that Dacha does not serve food in this space, so if you'd like to order dinner, we recommend arriving early and getting a bite in their main dining area.
