Celebrate the unity of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans-identified, and queer community at the Edmonton Pride Festival from June 5 – 14! Since 1980, the festival has grown to welcome more and more people looking to enjoy friendly and inclusive events!
The festival features a colourful parade, musical performances, parties, theatre performances, and so much more! The parade on June 6, which is one of the most-attended events of the festival, and the follow-up celebration, Pride in the Park, have moved to the Old Strathcona neighbourhood this year. To plan out the perfect spot to view the parade, check out this handy map on the website!
Other great invents include a queer film fest at Metro Cinema, picnics and barbecues, and a queer history project. To view a complete list of all the celebrations going on in the city, visit Edmonton Pride’s website.
