SOBER EVENTS GUIDE APRIL

April 22, 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

Spring is here with the sounds and smells of life and the outdoors and it makes us want to celebrate! And for many of us a celebratory feeling can come with the urge to drink. Getting sober usually means finding new ways to celebrate. So, to help you keep on top of your sobriety goals for April, we’ve put together – as we do each month – a guide to the soberer queer events in Toronto.


Please note that this guide is put together to the best of the ability of our alcohol-free Events 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 uncomforted or tempted to break your sobriety goals, consider leaving, and if you want to, let us know.
