GBACG Past Events
GBACG Events
We sponsor anywhere from 6-8 costumed Events each year. Activities range from picnics and dinners to museum and event visits; costume themes can be historical, science fiction, fantasy, and other genres - the only limit is your imagination!
Upcoming Events are listed on the GBACG Calendar. We also have information and photos of many of our Past Events.
The GBACG Costume Guidelines provide more information about what to wear to events.
Plan a GBACG Event
Do you have an idea for an event that you would like to organize? All GBACG events are member-sponsored, meaning one or more of our members puts it on. If you're new to organizing events, don't worry - our Event Coordinator is here to help guide you through the process. We can even pair you up with one of our Board of Directors to help you as well. Putting on events is fun and satisfying - you get to see your vision come to life!
We usually calendar each year's events in the preceding fall.
Our cycle works like this:
- We have an Event Brainstorming Meeting sometime in summer, where members get together to chat about ideas for possible events. This is a great opportunity to flesh out an idea: see if others like your theme, get suggestions for a venue, etc. Watch for the dates of Event Brainstorming Meetings on the GBACG Calendar, in Finery, and on the GBACG Costumers Yahoo! Group.
- Next, we'll give you a month or two to put together your Event Proposal (see the Restaurant Event Proposal Form and the Non-Restaurant Event Proposal Form). If you'd like help figuring out all the details and filling out the forms, please contact the Event Coordinator - we're happy to help! Watch for Event Proposal deadlines in Finery and on the GBACG Costumers Yahoo! Group.
- The Board holds its annual Event Planning Meeting in September or October. At this meeting, the Board reviews the Event Proposals and decides which events to schedule for the following year.
