LIPS believes in no clique-y-ness!! We pride ourselves on facilitating a space that is kind,
welcoming and a super fun time! The rumour is that this city is clique-y...not us baby!!
Tickets are on sale NOW!! If we do NOT sell out online, we will have door tickets for $30 CASH!
(ps, tickets often sell out!)
LIPS lesbian nights were created with the intention of community building. We are a queer
women focused space that has been growing and evolving. We strive for a variety of events
geared to different age groups and interests. We thank you for being here and coming on this
wild ride with us. Ticket money not only helps us continue, but provides paid opportunities for
local queer artists, our tiny team of staff "TEAM LIPS" and members of our community in need
of mutual aid.
PLEASE NOTE: No refunds for this event!!
We are trans women and non-binary folks inclusive!
LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Nations, and we also know that it isn’t enough to just speak those words. The way that we can
take action is to always provide opportunities for BIPOC artists, DJs, dancers, and members of

SAFER SPACES POLICY:
We have a zero tolerance policy for oppressive behaviour in all its forms -- including but
not limited to cultural appropriation, misogyny, transphobia, racism, fatphobia, and
ableism.

BUDDY SYSTEM:
The Buddy System is a grassroots effort to combat rape culture and enhance the safety
of our queer events. CONSENT IS SEXY -- AND MANDATORY! Buddies will be wearing
**NEON T-SHIRTS**. Our Buddies are NARCAN trained, and are carrying sealed water
bottles, condoms, lube, granola bars, tampons, and more. They will run interference if
someone is receiving unwanted attention, can help folks in need find a way home, and
generally serve as go-to support people should any problems arise.
