Qnotes 40th Anniversary Celebration at The Scorpio – Charlotte, NC

Join Qnotes for a special 40th anniversary celebration at The Scorpio as we gather with readers, community leaders, activists, partners, and friends for a night of connection, celebration, and community.

We have been telling the stories of the LGBTQ+ community across Charlotte and the Carolinas. Now it’s time to celebrate that history together!

Expect an evening filled with great music, great people, and the kind of joyful energy that only happens when a community comes together to celebrate something meaningful. Whether you’ve been reading Qnotes for decades or you’re discovering us for the first time, this night is for you.

We’ll be honoring the legacy of Qnotes, celebrating the people and stories that have shaped our community, and looking ahead to the next chapter of LGBTQ+ journalism in the Carolinas.

Come raise a glass, reconnect with old friends, meet new ones, and help us celebrate 40 years of LGBTQ+ news, voices, and community.
