Yukon Pride (Whitehorse)
About This Event
Whitehorse Pride, the Yukon's pride festival, is run by the Queer Yukon Society. Don't believe the listings that say it's in June - it's actually held in August.
The 2026 festival took place from 12 to 23 August, with events scattered around Whitehorse. It kicked off on 12 August, when the territorial government raised the pride flag at the Jim Smith Building. The YXY Pride Parade and Picnic followed on Saturday, 15 August.
The previous year's festival, the 12th annual, happened in early August, with the parade on 2 August.
The Queer Yukon Society just got a funding renewal from the Yukon government - $1.125 million over three years, which also covers pride coordination.
We couldn't find out how many people attended.
The 2027 dates hadn't been announced when we checked.
