Edmonton Pride Month
The City of Festivals knows how to celebrate and this year there are more Pride Celebrations than ever and they happen all Summer long. Even with no Edmonton Pride Parade… Edmonton brings you more Pride Celebrations than many other cities offer.
We expect that 2025 will see over 100 events and Pride Edmonton will be focused on finding all the information you need to plan your celebration of Pride. And once again we will see events in all 3 months of our Summer starting the Festival Season off May 30th and closing it off on August 24, 2025.
Start off the celebrations with Edmonton’s newest festival – Edmonton Drag Festival. Then watch for the Fruit Loop Pride Block Party and then the Pride Dance Party at the Starlite Room later in the month.
And Evolution Wonderlounge is the place for great entertainment shows and amazing DJ’s every weekend during Pride Month and the rest of the summer before it closes its iconic location on 103 Street late this Fall.
And be sure to catch some amazing stars from Canada’s Drag Race and more. To cap your weekend off take in one of their legendary Sunday shows.
But not to worry the folks at the new EVO on Jasper Avenue and 115 Street (open daily) will be planning some extra Pride fun to help the celebrations will be even better than before and be a place to have something to eat (and drink) before your next Pride party.
Want to learn more about Edmonton’s Queer history then join the Edmonton Queer History Project and the Downtown Business Association as they bring you the EQHP Walking Tours – each with a different theme throughout Pride Month and the Summer of Pride.
Love going to markets? Pride Month has those too. The Gay AF Market is one you won’t want to miss and stay tuned for more markets during the month.
And you won’t want to miss the 20th Annual Mayor’s Pride Brunch. Each year, the Fyrefly Institute for Gender and Sexual Diversity coordinates the Mayor’s Pride Brunch to raise funds to support their 2SLGBTQ+ programs. Held at the Convention Centre this event features some great food and entertainment.
And that’s not all…. Drag Me Out to the Ball Game at Re/Max field, Bowling with Queens, A Riverboat Cruise with Queens, popup Park drag shows with Queens, Baseball with Queens, Choirs, Burlesque, Conferences and even some green thumb planting … it all happens celebrating Pride Month in Edmonton. – June 1st to June 30th.
Edmonton Pride Parade
We thought we saw that there might be a parade on August 22nd, 2025 but now it seems to have vanished….. again 😵💫
Perhaps the organizers will take some time and let us know if its happening.
