We’ve mapped out all things queer, spooky and fierce in Toronto for Friday October 31
Half the population already wants to be afraid of us queers – let’s give them something to really be scared about! Traditionally, queers go all out for Halloween, creatively and spookily working out our issues with costumes and parties, and this year - thanks to Halloween landing ON A FRIDAY - promises to be a cut (or slash or gash) above.
To help you make it the spookiest night you can, we’ve assembled this guide to all things queer and Halloween in Toronto this year. That includes a buttload of parties, but also movie screenings, drag brunches, craft nights, musicals and more.
We will add more events as we find them, so check back regularly!
