Banff Pride Returns with Outdoor Fun, Drag Shows, Queer Conversations, and More!
For those not in the know, we. the LGBTQ+ community, show our Pride year-round. And queer revelers can continue celebrating at Banff Pride from October 6-10, 2023. For its 10th year, Banff Pride takes over one of Canada’s most iconic mountain towns in Banff National Park with drag shows, live entertainment, queer conversations, and outdoor fun! However, expect this year’s events to run through October 15
Some of the talent on tap this year includes Kendall Gender, Stephanie Prince, Syntia Kiss, Juiceboxx Kaos, Venus Karla Marx, Nearah Nuff, Melinda Verga, and many more!
As mentioned before, even though the big celebration happens from October 6-10, 2023; however, if LGBTQ+ folks miss the main weekend, they can always catch some cool events scheduled over a two-week period in October!
