SOBER EVENTS GUIDE JULY

July 24, 2025

Vee Willard

Behold! Our monthly roundup of events in the city that are alcohol-free or where alcohol is present but easily ignored

Congrats, boo! Probably the most tempting month of the year has passed and you survived. The throngs of thirsty bitches have returned to their pretty pink penthouses in the clouds. The threat of possibly running into every single one of your exes on Church Street has abated. The religious jerks with their obnoxious anti-queer signs have slithered back to the sewer from whence they came. Now for an easier month, with pleasant walks in the sun or rain and the occasional queer-focused event to edify you and keep you connected to your community.


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
