Our Story

Why We Founded Sober Vancouver

Pearl and I have produced hundreds of sober parties in Vancouver, and over the years we realized something was missing: a central hub for the city’s sober social scene.

So we created Sober Vancouver.

We wanted one place where people could discover the best sober events in Vancouver, especially the kinds of events we’d genuinely want to attend ourselves. Vancouver has no shortage of things to do, but finding social experiences that feel lively, meaningful, healthy, and genuinely connecting can be surprisingly difficult.

Our goal with Sober Vancouver is to help build a bigger and better sober movement in the city. We want to help great hosts get discovered, make it easier for people to find their sober tribe, and show that choosing sobriety doesn’t mean choosing a less exciting social life.

This mission is personal to us. We’ve both spent years around festivals, parties, and nightlife and have seen firsthand the downsides that can come with substance use.

We believe some of the best experiences in life come from developing our own capacity for joy, play, presence, and human connection without needing substances to create them.

Sober Vancouver is our contribution to a more alive, connected, and healthy social culture, and a place to discover the people and sober events in Vancouver helping make that culture possible.
