November calls to mind orange maple leaves, pilgrim hats, and turkey-related arts and crafts. It’s giving barnyard. It’s giving harvest. It’s giving Naomi Smalls’ Season 8 Wizard of Oz lewk. But it’s also giving parties, henny.

Here’s your guide to all of the best events happening in November…

Featured Events in November

Urge Miami Thanksgiving

It’s a time of giving (and receiving)

Downtown Miami

Urge Miami Thanksgiving Festival

Fight the frost this month with a trip down south to Miami. Whether you’re planning a huge Thanksgiving meal or not, you’ll at least find plenty of “snacks” at the various parties that Urge will be putting on this weekend. Just make sure to top it all off with the positively legendary South Beach beach party.

Gay Games 2023

The ultimate gay sporting event

Gay Games 2023

Think of it as the gay Olympics. Every year, queer athletes from around the world coalesce to put on the gayest displays of speed and strength that our planet has to offer. Whether you’re here to participate or just to gawk, you’ll find plenty of queer parties amidst all of the dazzling displays of athleticism. Throughout the two weeks, you can take your pick of watching swimming, handball, tennis, martial arts, or even dodgeball. It’s all entertaining and it’s all fabulous! 

As a bonus, there are not one but two sites for the Games this year. You can take your pick of seeing them in Hong Kong or Guadalajara.
