PRIDE PEI

FESTIVAL 2024

JULY 12 - 21

Most people are aware of Pride PEI as the organization behind the annual Pride Festival and Parade. Though these events are a crucial part of what we do, Pride PEI is also a resource for the Island’s queer community.

Tracing our beginnings back to the Abegweit Rainbow Collective (ARC), we have been a leader in celebrating and promoting diversity and inclusion for over twenty-eight years.

We work to educate and advocate on behalf of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, and we organize social opportunities when possible. We also endeavour to bring our events and initiatives to various locations across Prince Edward Island.

FESTIVAL

The PEI Pride Festival has evolved from a political march for equal rights to a celebration of the Island’s 2SLGBTQIA+ community. In 2019, we marked the festival’s 25th anniversary with our largest celebration yet. In 2020, in response to COVID-19, we successfully pivoted to a fully-virtual festival that remained accessible, engaging, and inclusive. We can’t wait to show you what we have in store this year!

EVENTS

No matter what we do, whether it’s an educational workshop or a rockin’ karaoke night, our goal is to raise awareness of gender and sexual diversity across Prince Edward Island.

COMMUNITY

Pride PEI is committed to building a community that uplifts the voices of our most marginalized members. We aim to create inclusive opportunities through our annual festival and year-round events. Being proud of your identity is a beautiful thing! We want to help you celebrate that.
