Vancouver’s annual pride week festivities will be kicked off with an outdoor pop-up party including a two-stage, silent disco and a main stage with a drag runway competition.
The runway competition will be hosted by local drag stars Continental Breakfast and PM and feature Alma B Itches, Misty H Meadows-Gurl, and Gluttony as judges.
Strut, a 12′ kinetic light-up peacock, will also be unveiled at the Pride Premiere. The peacock symbolizes bisexuality within the community and is hoped to provoke discussions of bi/panphobia.
