It’s time to celebrate—and we want you to be there! Show your support for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and St. John’s Pride by being part of the largest Pride Festival that Newfoundland and Labrador has to offer.
Our festival is all about celebrating and supporting the 2SLGBTQIA+ community in St. John’s, as well as welcoming people from all across our province and throughout Canada. We have a wide range of events for everyone to enjoy, such as exciting dance parties, engaging film screenings, lively markets, and our marquee Pride Parade. We also have a special beach night tradition that has been happening since the 1970s. The St. John’s Pride Festival brings communities together in solidarity and fun!
St. John’s holds a special place in Canadian history as one of the first cities to open a gay bar. In 1974, the legendary “Friends” welcomed its first patrons, following the Hotel Newfoundland Bar, which had garnered a reputation as “one of Canada’s great gay hangouts from 1968 to 1974.”
Back in the 1800s, the flamboyant professor Charles Henry Danielle opened the Octagon Castle, a lavish resort on Quidi Vidi Lake. Known as an "eccentric” of the time, Danielle’s legacy passed on to Frederick Brazill, his “long-time ward and assistant,” as reported by the St. John’s Telegram, after his funeral procession drew thousands of people along Water Street.
Our history in Newfoundland and Labrador is rich and enduring, and we invite you to contribute to the next chapter of this remarkable journey.
Every year, thousands of people gather to march in our annual Pride Parade to stand together as a community. Together, members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, their loved ones, allies, and supporters embrace this opportunity to proudly display their Pride to the world.
