We’ve listed a brain-gobblingly gruesome amount of spooky queer parties this season
Boy? Girl? Squirrel? Straight? Gay? Fey? You can be whatever you want to be! It’s sort of the unofficial motto of the queer community, and it’s even truer on Halloween. So let yourself go at some or all of the litany of horrific (and horrifically QUEER) Halloween happenings in Toronto! We've rounded up every single party and event we could find in the guide below.
Whatever you don’t find in this post you can find on our events page (and make sure to check out all three tabs – parties, culture and drag! Or hit reset on your filters to see everything all at once). If we missed anything, you can write to us at events@yohomo.ca and we'll add your party.
This year's Halloween guide is made possible by our friends at felix.ca, thanks Felix!
