HI, IT’S jo:
We’re raising a glass to the incredible businesses that make The Queensway thrive
On Thursday, October 23, Shop The Queensway BIA is partnering with Great Lakes Brewery to host Cheers to Local Businesses, a free appreciation night for our BIA members and community partners. This relaxed after-hours gathering is all about connection, collaboration, and celebration.

• A behind-the-scenes brewery tour at 7 PM
• Content capture throughout the night that highlights our members and the businesses that make The Queensway shine
