pride Parade
The 2026 Halifax Pride Parade will take place on Saturday, July 18, at 12:00pm.
Experience the power of community gathering, celebration, and activism as a part of the 2025 Halifax Pride Parade. Enter your group to take part in one of this city’s largest community events, demonstrate your support for 2SLGBTQIA+ equity, and help make the Halifax Pride Festival possible.
Halifax Pride appreciates all those who join the parade, but we work especially hard to ensure queer community members and groups are the focus of our parade and festival. 2SLGBTQIA+ community groups and 2SLGBTQIA+ not-for-profit groups receive free entry and are given priority placement in the parade.
