Queer sober events Guide

January 14, 2025

Vee Willard

You asked for it, and we created it! A monthly roundup of events in the city that are alcohol-free or where alcohol is present but easily ignored

You’ve decided to cut alcohol out of your life. Or to at least put limits on your intake. More and more of us are doing it. It’s all the rage. Sobriety slaps (or whatever the kids are saying these days)!

But now what are you going to do with your time? How will you have fun? It’s a common problem for us queer folks who will wanna get out there and live our lives.

In time for your New Years resolutions, we at Yohomo are launching our first ever sober event guide. This monthly guide is aimed at helping you find the queerest and soberest (with regard to alcohol) things to do with your time, so that you can keep up with your sobriety goals but also stay active and engaged with the community.

As with all of our event guides, we will add more events as we find them.

Please note that this guide is put together to the best of the ability of our alcohol-free listings editor Vee, who does her best, but may not always get it right. Please use your best judgement and if an event is making you feel uncomfortable or tempted to break your sobriety goals consider leaving, and if you want to, let us know.
