Windsor-Essex Pride Fest

Windsor-Essex Pride Fest is the region's annual LGBTQ+ celebration, held in early August (unusually late for a Canadian Pride). The festival runs across Windsor-Essex with satellite events through the week, culminating in a main festival weekend at Lanspeary Park on Ottawa Street and a Pride parade on the closing Sunday that steps off from Market Square on Argyle Road and proceeds down Ottawa Street. Expect drag performances, live music, community and vendor booths, food, and family-friendly programming. Organized by the volunteer-run Windsor-Essex Pride Fest.
