Cherry Bomb Toronto

Running since 2007, Cherry Bomb is Toronto's longest-running party for queer women, trans and non-binary people and their friends, and it's been voted Xtra Magazine's Best Club Event for Women multiple years running. It's not a fixed venue but a recurring event, run by longtime DJs Cozmic Cat and Denise Benson, that pops up around the city at different clubs throughout the year, with its biggest night, Cherry Bomb Pride, held every June and drawing a stacked lineup of DJs, burlesque and drag performers.

It's 19-plus, in line with Ontario's drinking age, and tickets for bigger nights like Cherry Bomb Pride typically run in advance through Eventbrite, with a higher price at the door. Since it moves venue to venue, check Instagram or the website for the current location and date before planning around it.
