The Deets

Okay, listen up, fam! Vancouver Island is where it's at this June. Pride Month is officially in full swing, and every city is flexin' their Pride game. We're talkin' Ladysmith, Greater Victoria, Duncan, Nanaimo, Tofino, Courtenay, Campbell River, Parksville, Langford, Cowichan, Saanich, Sidney, Port Hardy, Victoria – the whole squad is representin'!

What's poppin'? Everything! Flag-raising ceremonies to get the vibes right, lit parties, full-on festivals, sickening drag shows, trivia nights for the smarties, beach parties for the tan, marches to show the love, picnics for the chill, and dance parties to get your groove on. It's a whole vibe, fr fr!

Even Premier David Eby had something to say. He's like, "Pride is a whole mood – it's a celebration, but it's also a clapback at all the hate and discrimination." Preach!

The party doesn't stop in June either, some events are rollin' into July and August, so keep your eyes peeled! Think food, music, local crafts, drag performances that'll make your jaw drop, story times for the kids, and just overall good community vibes. Oh, and did you know the Rainbow Pride flag dropped in '78? Iconic!
