Pride season is upon us! This year marks the 39th anniversary of Pride in Vancouver, and we’re sure it’s going to be as fun and fabulous as ever!

The annual celebration is a great excuse to get involved and celebrate our city’s LGTBQ2+ community as one.

So without further ado, here are some things to do this Pride weekend.

What: Strip down to your underwear and race through the streets before dancing the night away at an epic dance party? The best part is you’ll be taking your clothes off for free with all discarded clothing donated to charity.
Where: Starts at Vancouver Art Gallery, ends at Davie Street.
When: Friday, August 4 at 5:30 pm
Tickets: Free

What: Take back the streets for Pride Weekend in the heart of the Davie Street Village! The party will spill out from the Community Stage at the historic Rainbow Crosswalk, where you can pound the pavement to some of the city’s hottest talent and witness the annual Wimple-In ceremony of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.
Where: Davie Street between Burrard and Jervis, Vancouver
When: Friday, August 4, 6 pm until midnight
Tickets: This is a free event but RFID keychains are available to be loaded up for drink purchases, and can be used in beer gardens at the Davie Street Party.

What: If you’re looking for some maritime mayhem and a rock-your-world dance floor surrounded by stunning scenery, this is the party for you. Everyone is welcome at this sticky, glittery, rainbow-filled night of hot music, hot bodies, and hot summer fun.
