Queer Men of the Berkshires
A group with roots in the Southern Berkshires, Q-Mob holds informal gatherings in friendly groups — hikes, potlucks, game nights, dinners at local restaurants and more. Emerging from the pandemic, a group of friends have come together, looking for community and fun — and they’re creating both.
They will hold events at many places across the county, from livingrooms to hiking trails to cafes. An arts and culture will explore the local museum scene and performances, with a strong interest in going to music and art and dance events as a group and supporting the arts.
They are growing, reaching out to local communities, BIPOC and Latinx, youth and elders and more, and offering local resources, mentorship and gathering places for rest and relaxation.
Q-Mob members gather at a local restaurant to share food and company.
