Vancouver Pride Events 2026
Vancouver Pride has released their 2026 festival guide featuring an engaging lineup of events around the city July 25 to August 2 that celebrate every part of our diverse 2SLGBTQIA+ community.

Vancouver Pride Events
The 2026 theme is Unapologetically Queer, an invitation to show up exactly as you are: “Whether you’re lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, Two-Spirit, queer, non-binary, ace, intersex, questioning, or anywhere else within our community, you belong here.” The theme celebrates authenticity, courage, and connection through celebration, community, stories, and joy.

Proclamation, followed by the raising of the Inclusive Pride Flag and the Trans Flag at Vancouver City Hall.
