Alcohol-Free Festival for the Sober-Curious

IT’S A START –

Jan 2, 2024 – In a city as famously boozy as Philly, the concept of a “dry January” can be hard to envision. But for Philadelphians who are committing to an alcohol-free start to the new year, an upcoming event may make it easier to ride out the first few weeks.

From noon until 7 p.m., Dry Vibes Philadelphia attendees can try a variety of non-alcoholic beverages, learn how to make mocktails from professional mixologists, peruse products from wellness-focused brands, attend sobriety-focused panel discussions and step into what the festival’s Eventbrite page describes as a spiritual sanctuary that offers “moments of reflection and spiritual connection amid the bustling energy.”

Tickets are available for $72.98. The event will be followed by a booze-free afterparty featuring music curated by Philly-based DJ Yolo Ono.

Dry January was started in 2013 by the British nonprofit Alcohol Change UK in an effort to encourage people to rethink their relationship with alcohol by abstaining from it for the first month of the new year. About 15% of Americans said they participated in Dry January in 2023, according to a poll conducted last year.
