Community Calendar

Join us at this year’s Seacoast Christian School auction - all funds raised support our tuition assistance program, making a christian education possible for many of our students.

We have a Silent portion and a Live portion - there are so many items to bid on!

Tickets are $25 each, with discount options for whole tables.
Dinner is included with your ticket.

Our monthly spaghetti supper offers community and spaghetti (meat or veggie sauce), salad, garlic bread, and BUMC’s famous pies. Donation only. A portion of proceeds goes to MCHPP. We hope you will join us regularly.

Make Ugly Duckling your official Friday night destination this winter. We are hosting the ultimate RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 18 Viewing Party every single week for the entire 14-episode run!

Hosted by the fabulous Letta Dicken, this isn't just a watch party—it’s a weekly community event. Skip the chaos of downtown and come to the West End for a night of shade, laughter, and killer food.

What to expect every Friday:

The Show: We screen every new episode live at 8:00 PM.

The Sips: Weekly drink specials like our "Duckarita" and Espresso Martinis.

The Eats: Full dinner service available all night—smash burgers, haute-dogs, and late-night snacks.

The Vibe: No cover, no attitude, just a great start to your weekend.

Whether you follow every queen or just want a fun place to socialize, everyone is welcome.

Reservations are highly recommended every week!
