About

The Halifax Pride Festival is an annual 11-day gathering in the Halifax Regional Municipality for the 2SLGBTQ+ community. It features over 150 community and Pride organized events celebrating the history, culture, activism, and perseverance of the queer community. The festival welcomes upwards of 50,000 participants every summer. Halifax Pride began in 1988 with the city's first Pride March, organized by members of the gay and lesbian community as a protest over the lack of legal protections from discrimination.
