Tickets:
We are offering pay-what-you-are-able tickets and splitting 100% of the ticket sales between Black Pride YYC, Colores Del Alma, and Rang De Pride to help support them in all the offerings they have coming up in the calendar.

Our sponsor:
Thank you to the Community-Based Research Centre for providing funding so we can pay $100 honorariums to all performers. Tips will also be split amongst all performers to ensure everyone is paid for their labour.

Accessibility:
To make this event safe as possible to attend for as many of our 2SLGBTQIA+ community members, we ask that folks do a Covid test within 24 hours of attending and wear masks when not eating. Masks will be provided at the door.

This is a sober all-ages event! We welcome kids and families! Anyone under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

Food will be served! Details are coming, but there will be gluten free and vegan options courtesy of the Pansy Club, as well as Jamaican patties from Simply Caribbean.

Contemporary Calgary has a paid parking lot and is right by the c-train downtown. They have wheelchair accessible washrooms on the main floor and the floor of the Heather Edwards theatre. There are multi-stall gendered washrooms on all floors as well.
