Pride is Political Weekend Events
Pride is Political is back from August 8–10, 2025 at Carre de la Francophone de Vanier Square (282 Dupuis St, Algonquin Territory)!
Pride is Political is a series of events that centre the political roots of Pride through art, movement, and dialogue. We honour the resistance and contributions of QTBIPOC, disabled people, and sex workers in struggles against gender-based violence.
Join us for a weekend rooted in community care, cultural resistance, and collective joy. This QTBIPOC-centered event uplifts the voices of those often pushed to the margins—centering movement, art, activism, and healing.
This year’s theme: Creating Violence-Free Futures
Unceded, unsurrendered Algonquin Anishinaabe territory
Workshops • Film • Performances • Healing Spaces • Food • Art
We’re proud to be organizing alongside an incredible network of grassroots groups, advocates, and organizations committed to justice and liberation.
Let’s come together to honour the roots of Pride and build new possibilities.
