Queen City Pride Festival 2026

The Queen City Pride Festival is an annual 10-day celebration of Regina’s Gender and Sexually Diverse (GSD) communities. The festival program features a collection of events organized by Regina Pride and in partnership with local community organizations.

The events – including workshops, social gatherings, and performances – highlight our communities’ cultures, histories, achievements, and societal challenges still faced by our communities today. Every event strives to fulfill our organization’s mandate to educate, entertain, and enlighten our audience on the rich diversity of our city.

The Queen City Pride Festival is just one of many pride festivities which take place throughout communities in Saskatchewan. Most of these events take place in the month of June during Saskatchewan’s “Pride Month”, as proclaimed by the Government of Saskatchewan each year.

Most of Queen City Pride’s official events occur during Pride Week, as proclaimed by the City of Regina every year.

2026 Pride Parade – June 13th at 12PM!

The annual Queen City Pride Parade is our signature event that fills Regina’s downtown with rainbows, smiles, and pride.

The first Pride Marches took place on the sidewalk because organizers were refused a permit. Participants wore masks and bags to cover their faces and protect their identities.

Today’s Pride Parades continue to be an important place to make our community’s presence known. The fight for 2SLGBTQIA+ rights and equity is still alive and Pride is just one of the many ways in which we bring attention to these important issues. Our dancing, singing, and laughter are a celebration of the journey that our communities have taken to reach this point.

The Queen City Pride Parade has grown to become one of Regina’s most colourful and recognized parades with over 4,000 participants marching through Regina’s streets.

Out in the Park

OUT in the Park is a powerful expression of queer pride and the freedom to be yourself. It provides a safe and welcoming space where individuals can celebrate their identities openly and joyfully. The event showcases the diversity and vibrancy of the queer community through performances, activities, and the presence of local vendors and artisans who support and uplift LGBTQ+ voices. It invites everyone to come as they are and embrace their true selves without fear of judgment. The inclusive atmosphere ensures that all attendees feel valued and respected, whether they’re enjoying a cold Rebellion drink, enjoying the entertainment, or exploring the vendor market. OUT in the Park is a testament to the importance of being true to oneself and the beauty that comes from embracing one’s identity.

OUT in the Park is the vibrant outdoor segment of Queen City Pride’s annual festival, held immediately after the parade in the scenic Wascana Park, where the parade route concludes. This lively event offers a variety of attractions for all ages:
