“Our community deserves to thrive throughout the year. Winter Pride is all about collaboration and warm celebrations,” said Allison Dunne, co-executive director of Vancouver Pride, in a release. “This year, you will experience dance, drag, art, comedy, education, poetry and more. Our events will be indoor and outdoor, ticketed and free, all ages and 19+ to accommodate the diversity of our community in Vancouver.”
Winter Pride kicks off with the Unicorn Disco on February 18. The glittery dance party features a lineup of international and local drag talent, vogue performers and DJs ready to get the party started.
