Join TCI this Friday night for our Bites & Beats event! 🎤🍕
This event is all about coming together to sing, snack, and hang out in a welcoming, inclusive space. Whether you love belting out your favorite songs, cheering on friends, or just enjoying the music and snacks, there’s something for everyone.

No karaoke experience is needed—participation is always optional, and youth are welcome to engage in whatever way feels most comfortable. We’ll have music, microphones, tasty snacks, and plenty of time to relax, socialize, and connect with peers.

Come as you are, bring your favorite song ideas, and get ready for a night full of music, laughs, and good vibes.

Everyone belongs at Bites & Beats!
