Halifax Pride is a dynamic and inclusive brand that encompasses the annual Halifax Pride Festival, a vibrant 11-day gathering in the Halifax Regional Municipality for the 2SLGBTQ+ community. With over 150 community and Pride organized events, the festival celebrates the rich history, culture, activism, and resilience of the queer community. From large-scale events to smaller gatherings, Halifax Pride actively engages with various queer groups and individuals throughout the year, providing support and collaboration for their own events and activities.

Rooted in a powerful history, Halifax Pride traces its roots back to 1988 when the first Pride March took place in Halifax. It was a protest against discrimination and a demand for legal protection for the LGBTQ+ community. Since then, the festival has blossomed into a joyous celebration attended by more than 120,000 participants each summer.

Halifax Pride is driven by an aim to create an equitable society free from all forms of oppression. Its purpose is to establish spaces that foster the flourishing of individuals with diverse sexual and gender identities. Guided by principles of community, self-expression, and growth, Halifax Pride nurtures a sense of belonging, encourages true authenticity, and actively challenges oppressive social constructs.
