Halifax Pride

Halifax Pride is the non-profit organization behind the Halifax Pride Festival, the largest Pride celebration in Atlantic Canada. Founded in 1988 \u2014 when the first march drew around 75 people, some wearing paper bags to protect their identity \u2014 it has grown into an eleven-day festival each July that draws crowds in the tens of thousands to a parade and festival grounds in the downtown core. Beyond the summer festival, Halifax Pride delivers year-round community programming and advocacy, and in 2027 the organization is set to host Canada Pride, the national Pride event, bringing an even larger spotlight to the city. Its website is the definitive source for current festival dates, the parade route and the full slate of events.
