CHEAP THRILLS NOVEMBER

November 13, 2025

Vee Willard

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

It’s November and we know what that means: We’re all on extreme rationing, eating old wigs and deep frying DVDS in a valiant effort to save money for gifts. To help you save but still go out and do something now and then, we’ve assembled this guide of the more affordable things happening this breezy month.


Check back regularly for updates to this guide, and if we are missing your affordable event please get in touch at events@yohomo.ca.
