Every Tuesday· GalPals – Weekly Sapphic Meetup· 18:30–22:30 · Free Entry · Hosted by WLWien at Villa Vida Café

GalPals is a weekly sapphic event in Vienna designed for queer women, nonbinary sapphics, questioning folks, and anyone who feels at home in the sapphic community. It takes place every single Tuesday, and every week brings the same magic: a mix of regulars and newcomers.

This is a safe, low-pressure, community space where it’s completely okay to be shy, introverted, or socially anxious. Just show up as yourself. Many people come alone, many come with friends, and everyone gets folded into the group.

What makes GalPals special

A warm, affirming environment for all sapphics in Vienna

Consistent weekly rhythm — same time, same place, every Tuesday

A gentle mix of familiar faces and first-timers each week

A space where introverts and quiet folks feel safe and supported

Multilingual crowd (English is common, but speaking English is not required)

Easy opportunity to meet new people, make friends, and build queer community in Vienna

Languages

Most socializing happens in English, but you’ll also hear German, Spanish, Portuguese, Turkish, Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian, and more. You do not need to speak English well (or at all) to feel included — people naturally shift between languages.

Lavender Lounge - Queer Arts & Crafts Social
2026-08-05 16:00 - 18:00, 2026-07-22 16:00 - 18:00
Why “Lavender”?

Lavender has a long and powerful history in queer culture. Before rainbow flags existed, the color quietly symbolized queer identity, solidarity, and resistance. It showed up in the fashion of queer circles in the 1940s and 50s, became a coded sign of recognition, and later transformed into a symbol of strength during the “Lavender Scare,” when queer people were targeted and fired from U.S. government jobs.

Today, lavender stands for resilience, creativity, and community care. Lavender Lounge honors that legacy by offering a warm, creative space for queer expression — whether you’re a seasoned artist or just experimenting.

Every Second Wednesday · 16:00–18:00 · Free Entry · Villa Vida Café

Lavender Lounge is Villa Vida’s cozy, community-centered queer arts-and-crafts hangout — a free creative space for anyone who wants to make art, relax, and connect with other queer people in Vienna.Every second Wednesday, you can bring your own supplies, settle into a calm corner, and work on whatever brings you joy: painting, knitting, sketching, journaling, crochet, collage, or any DIY craft you love. No experience needed, no pressure, no expectations.

This is a soft, introvert-friendly space where newcomers and regulars mix easily. If you’re looking for a low-stress queer social event, this is it.

What to expect

A quiet, cozy environment

Free entry, all identities welcome

Bring-your-own-supplies arts & crafts

Mix of regulars and newcomers

Zero-pressure, introvert-friendly socializing
