Pride Winnipeg 2015

Winnipeg Pride – Today, over 35,000 attend the Pride Winnipeg Festival to celebrate our many victories and our diverse community, and to remember that there is so much to be proud of and thankful for. Pride Winnipeg has been celebrated annually since 1987, and has evolved from a one-day event into a 10-day festival filled with pride, confidence, fun, colour, music, laughter, optimism, and activism.

Winnipeg Pride is the Pride of the Prairies – one of the largest celebration of LGBTTQ culture between Toronto and Vancouver. We invite everyone from far and wide to join our welcoming community and celebrate Pride in Winnipeg – the heart of the continent!

The Pride Winnipeg Festival is a multi-day celebration with many events for all segments of our diverse community all leading up to our main PRIDE DAY celebrations on Sunday June 14th, 2015.

Join the thousands of people that gather downtown and at The Forks to participate in the Pride Winnipeg celebrations, which include the Rally at the Legislative Building, Parade through Downtown, Festival at The Forks and Official Dance Party at The Metropolitan Entertainment Centre.

Pride Winnipeg 2015

Thousands of people are expected to join in the annual Pride Parade through downtown Winnipeg to show off their Pride! Watch as floats and groups show off our city’s rainbow colors! Which float/group will take home the titles that are up for grabs in our Parade Competition?

With the huge success of last years expanded Pride Festival at the Forks, the festival will once again be a two day event! By beginning on Saturday, Pride Winnipeg is able to further meet the demands of festival-goers for more programming, an expanded Queer Beer Beverage Tent and Liquor Mart Patio, more time to take in the festivities and also an opportunity to draw more attention to community-run events such as the Winnipeg DykeMarch. More details to come!
