Our monthly guide to cheap and queerful events in the city that are FREE, PWYC or less than $10
Your goal for the rest of the summer: Get outside as much as possible! The Sun is free (for now anyway)! This month’s guide has a couple park events (Skate & Paint for Palestine Fundraiser and the Big Trans Picnic) and a handful of beach parties (Kikibana Ball, Tops Off Bottoms Out: TBoy Beach Day, and Lez Beach – all at Hanlan’s Point Beach) to get you out in the sun before we all pack our asses away into the attic for winter.
Check back regularly for updates to this guide, and if we are missing your affordable event please get in touch at events@yohomo.ca.
