In the spirit of truth and reconciliation, Cold Garden recognizes we work and play in Mohkinstsis (where the Bow River meets the Elbow River), which is now known as Calgary. We acknowledge our presence on Treaty 7 territory and give thanks to these sacred lands that continue to provide for us. We honour the original occupants of this Territory, being the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) Confederacy, comprised of the Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika Nations; the Iyarhe Nakoda of the Wesley, Chiniki, and Bearspaw Nations; and the Dene of the Tsuut’ina Nation, as well as the Metis Nation Region III.

Pride Parade
2026-09-06 - 2026-09-07 | Downtown Calgary, Calgary, Alberta, Canada
On Sunday, September 6th, 2026, join us for this year’s Calgary Pride Parade 2026. Gather in Calgary’s downtown core along 9th Avenue SW, starting at 5th Street SW and ending at 4th Street SE in East Village.
As members within 2SLGBTQIA+ community in Alberta face growing challenges, this year’s parade is also a reminder that Pride has always been rooted in advocacy. We march together for visibility, safety, equity, and the right for every 2SLGBTQIA+ person to live fully and freely.
The parade brings together community groups, artists, organizations, and allies in a joyful procession through the city.
Gather as thousands march, in a thread of colours we call Pride.
Start Time will be released on our Social Media! Stay tuned.
