All are welcome. All are celebrated. All will look amazing under the disco lights.

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.
