Join us for this special bonus tour as we go west of downtown and explore the vibrant queer life on 124st and Jasper Ave. Meet us at Remedy on 124 st as we highlight the history of forgotten bars like Buddys Pub and DiNovi’s Lounge and celebrate community coffee shops like Boystown and Conrad’s Sugar Bowl. Learn more about Times .10 Magazine and GATE and GLCCE as we pass two former locations.
Visit old and new bathhouses such as Down Under and Steamworks. Our tour will end with stories of more businesses and bars from days gone by including Buddys, Woodys, Mamas Gin Joint, and yes even the first location of Flashback! Your tour guides will be Rob Browatzke (Co-Owner of Evolution Wonderlounge) and Godiva (former Buddys Beauty and Woodys manager).
ASL interpretation is available by request for each tour. We require at least one week notification prior to each tour date to enable us to arrange for interpreters. Please email: EdmontonQueerHistoryProject@gmail.com with your ASL request.
The 2023 Spring/Summer EQHP Walking Tour Series is made possible thanks to funding and support provided by the MacEwan Centre for Sexual and Gender Diversity, Edmonton Downtown Business Association, and the City of Edmonton.

Event Listing & Graphics Disclaimer PrideEdmonton.ca is a free, unfunded, volunteer-run community listing platform. We do not generate revenue from our services and do not receive funding or grants from community or government sources. All events and accompanying graphics are submitted by independent organizers. Many organizers operate with little or no budget and may use a variety of tools—including AI-assisted design—to create their materials. PrideEdmonton.ca does not create, edit, review, or regulate submitted graphics, nor do we assess how they are produced. Our focus is on ensuring broad visibility of the many Pride events happening across the region. Showcasing this diversity of programming helps build awareness, strengthen community connection, and foster greater understanding and acceptance. Responsibility for all submitted content rests solely with the event organizers. |
