Jasper Pride Festival 2014
Jasper Pride Weekend is made up of volunteers from all across the business, not-for-profit and LGBTQ community in Jasper in Canada.
Jasper Pride Weekend is the only Winter Pride Festival in the Canadian Rocky Mountains taking place late March or early April every year. It is attracting locals and visitors alike.
A formal committee was organized in the spring of 2009 and the event has grown exponentially since then. In 2013 a not-for profit Society was founded with the support of Jasper’s business community, Tourism Jasper and the Jasper Chamber of Commerce.
Over the last years the Festival has became bigger and better! Our fifth Anniversary Pride Festival will take place from 21-23 March 2014.
Queer Jasper
Jasper is a traditionally diverse and welcoming community attracting travelers, workers, students, ski bums and residents from all over the world. This unique atmosphere is a perfect fit for the resident queer community, the LGBT traveler and the many LGBT couples who wed in Jasper every year. They all have their favorite hang-outs in town… but we will let you find that out by yourself.
The businesses in Jasper are full of Pride stickers in their windows and our mayor traditionally opens our Pride Festival. Last year for the first time the rainbow flag was officially raised at our Fire Hall for International Day against Homophobia. Our local advocacy group OUT Jasper has been a popular focal point for the queer community for years. The LGBT friendliness of Jasper has been noted all around Canada and been featured in various media outlets, LGBT, alternative, mainstream.
