Banff Pride Festival

Banff Pride strikes the perfect balance between small-town charm and big-city energy. This 10-day festival is a celebration of love, identity, and community in the heart of the Canadian Rockies. Welcoming all ages, genders, sexual orientations, and allies, Banff Pride is the celebration in the mountains you never knew you needed. This year, they're bringing back fan favourites and introducing exciting new events to the lineup. Join them for an inspiring speaker series, lively dance parties, scenic boat rides on Lake Minnewanka, breathtaking gondola rides, movie nights, community hikes, and performances by local 2SLGBTQIA+ musicians. Oh and of course Drag Queens. They're also proud to announce the return of Taste the Rainbow - a delicious celebration where local restaurants craft pride-themed dishes, with a portion of proceeds supporting 2SLGBTQIA+ initiatives in the Bow Valley.
