Celebrate Canada Pride at the
Vancouver Pride Festival!
From July 28 to August 6, the Vancouver Pride Festival brought a jam-packed lineup of events from the Bubly Davie Lounge to the VanPrideFest and other venues around the city.
Continuing with the takeover model from last year, programming was curated by local 2SLGBTQAI+ groups such as Normie Corp, Ricecake, House of Bukuru, Queers & Beers, Comedy Here Often? and more. This year, we also had the return of the iconic Posh Ball presented by Van Vogue Jam, bringing a lavish party to Parq Vancouver right on the first day of the Festival!
