Guide To The Summer of Pride 2024

Every year, Edmonton celebrates the annual Summer Festival Season, which runs from May to the end of September. June is Pride Month, which has traditionally been when the 2SLGBTQIA+ community gathers in unity and spirit to celebrate. Pride celebrations are about honouring and affirming the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, commemorating the progress made in the fight for equal rights, and recognizing the ongoing challenges faced by 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals. Pride is also an opportunity for allies to show their support and solidarity with the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, reinforcing the message that love, acceptance, and equality are universal values.

We bring some of these events to you in this Guide to The Summer of Pride. From our favourite Pride Day at KDays to the Edmonton Pride Festival at Sir Winston Churchill Square, the party runs all summer long!

Pride Month about to get underway in Alberta as provincial policies loom

The start of Pride Month is just a few days away – but the celebrations feel different for many people this year. Controversial provincial policies continue to weigh heavily on the LGBTQ2S+ community. Morgan Black reports.

Ron Byers, promoter for Pride Edmonton, says the Alberta government has a chance to be part of the conversation.

“The UCP government has an opportunity to be a part of our celebrations as a Pride community if they’re wiling to come to the table with open minds for frank, honest, truthful conversations.

“If they want to blow it and just close their doors, that’s them,” he said.
