CHEAP THRILLS MARCH

March 19, 2025

Vee Willard

Our monthly guide to cheap and queerful events in the city that are FREE, PWYC or less than $10.

The sidewalk is wet and so are we! That is to say, spring is around the corner and we're pretty jazzed about it.


Fashion a makeshift shovel out of a spent container of moisturizer and dig yourself out from beneath that stack of duvets and dusty cats. Take some vitamins – A through Z, you can’t go wrong. Run a brush through your hair and teeth – it can be the same brush, we’re not judging. Your winter hibernation is over and we have a list of AFFORDABLE ways for you to embrace the outside world (as we do every month – we’re reliable that way).


And don’t forget to check back regularly, because we continuously to add affordable events to this guide as the month progresses.

Please get in touch if we are missing your affordable event, at events@yohomo.ca
