About us
This meetup group was formerly run by Boston Pride. It is now run by the "Non-Scene" Friends as a way for different LGBTQ+ meetups, non-profits, businesses, and organizations to post their LGBTQ+ affiliated events in the Boston Area. We post LGBTQ+ events happening in cities and towns anywhere between I-495 and Boston.
Browse our assortment of LGBTQ+ events and have a good time in the community!
Message us if you would like to post your events. We have no affiliation with the events posted and will not have an organizer present unless otherwise stated. We do not run the posted events. Check the link to the event host's website before attending an event to ensure an event is still ongoing. Events are posted for free as a courtesy, though we reserve the right to charge a fee to post events in the future. We may post events without checking with the host of the event, contact us if you want us to stop posting your events.

Please only post events that recur once a month or less and are between the I-495 corridor and Boston. If the event is only open to a specific subgroup of the LGBTQ community please put that in the title. Please, no events supporting or opposing political candidates, nudity, sex, or illicit activity. Include the following disclaimer in the event postings: "This event is not affiliated with Boston LGBTQ+ Event Postings". Expect only about half of the rsvps to attend.

A Taste of Easton Mountain: Boston Meet & Greet (& a weekend of workshops!)
Alley Bar, 14 Pi Alley, Boston, MA, USA TASTE OF EASTON MOUNTAIN RETURNS TO BOSTON!
Boston, Easton Mountain, the gay men's retreat center in upstate New York, is coming back! After a wonderful weekend together this spring, "A Taste of Easton Mountain" returns October 15–18 with new and returning workshops, community, connection, and another chance to experience a little of what makes Easton special.
And if you already know and love Easton Mountain, this is a perfect chance to bring a friend and introduce them to our community.
Come for one workshop, spend a day with them, or make a weekend of it. Whether you’re reconnecting with Easton friends or bringing someone who has never experienced Easton Mountain before, they’d love to see you in Boston!
A Taste of Easton Mountain brings elements of the Easton retreat experience to Boston for a weekend you can experience your own way. Throughout the weekend, we’ll offer a mix of workshops and experiential sessions at FORGE Boston, along with our free Thursday evening Meet & Greet at The Alley Bar. Come for one experience, spend a full day with us, or build your own weekend. We’re offering this event on a sliding scale to make it accessible to a wide range of people, especially those newer to the community. At the same time, this weekend supports Easton and the work we do year-round. If you have the means, we invite you to choose a higher price to help make this experience possible for others. If you need the lower end, that’s completely okay. Be as generous as you can and choose what works best for you.
These activities and experiences are for GBTQ men age 18 and up.
On Thursday night, there will be a casual kickoff MEET & GREET at the upstairs lounge at the Alley Bar.
Thursday evening: Meet & Greet
Meet us in the upstairs lounge at the Alley Bar for a casual kickoff to the weekend. Drop in, meet facilitators and community members, and get a feel for what Easton Mountain is all about. It’s an easy way to connect, ask questions, and see if any of the weekend experiences feel right for you. You’re welcome to stay and socialize afterward for Alley Bar’s Trivia Night. No need to book anything. Just show up!
