East Side Pride
returns for 2026!
Bringing community, creativity, and queer joy back to the heart of East Vancouver.
Rooted in connection and community care, East Side Pride celebrates the diversity of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities through music, art, drag, dance, and grassroots culture. Whether you’re reconnecting with chosen family, discovering local queer talent, or simply soaking in the summer atmosphere, this is a space to show up fully and unapologetically as yourself.
On June 27–28, join Vancouver Pride Society on the East Side for two days of community, creativity, and queer joy. From drag in the park and local vendors to late-night performances and drag brunch, East Side Pride is a celebration of queer community in all its forms.
