TGIF Nights

TGIF
NIGHTS

TGIF Nights aren’t your average Friday night plans, they’re an adventure wrapped in music, laughter, and good vibes. From epic dance parties and camp-themed nights (minus the bug spray) to cozy winter movie nights and tea party throwdowns, each month brings something new to look forward to.

These TGIF hangouts are built to shake up autopilot mode and bring people together for something real. You bring the energy, we’ll bring the snacks, the beats, and the unexpected.

Let’s make Friday nights fun again.

Upcoming EventS

Club Gain is part of the Down Syndrome Association of Hamilton and runs volunteer-powered dances a couple times a month for adults in the developmental disabilities community. They bring incredible energy, heart, and consistency to this community. They’ve been a huge supporter of UO from early on, and this night is my way of giving back.

Get Tickets

What to expect at our Friday Night partys!

Tickets & Box Office

Tickets live in our Ticket Tailor Box Office. It keeps everything smooth; tickets, consents, and check-in all in one place.

Tracking numbers in real time helps us stick to very comfy low-capacity limits. No overcrowding, just space to dance, laugh, and enjoy yourself. Coming from the front lines, I recognize the need to keep things sensory friendly in terms of space and crowds.

Support Workers & Guardians

Support workers, these nights are for you too. ALWAYS free admission, snacks, activities, and prize tickets. You are always included!

After 18+ years on the frontlines, I know long shifts can drain you. You deserve fun too and these nights provide an epic way to build rapport and memories with your Trailblazers!

The only ask: Phones down please (outside of necessary communication), engage with your Trailblazer, and join in. Memories hit harder when you actually participate, not stuck behind a screen.

Photo & Video

At checkout, you’ll see a question about photo and video consent.

Some Trailblazers in our Trailblazers Club and 1:1 Trailblazer Sessions, prefer not to be photographed or shared online. That choice is always respected. TGIF Nights follow the exact same rules.

Your privacy and autonomy are number one. If you choose not to be photographed or shared, you will not appear in any photos or videos. That is your right.

As Trailblazers are adults, I expect all guardians, parents, and support workers to ask the Trailblazer themselves if they consent. Their choice comes first.

We want everyone to feel safe, comfortable, and in control of their own image.
