Although the world is facing a completely new reality from what we’re accustomed to, Vancouver Pride Society has found a positive and engaging alternative in celebrating our LGBT2Q+ community!

The celebrations will look a little different this year, but that’s what Pride is all about – celebrating our differences.  This year’s events will be online to ensure everyone is safe with proper physical distancing.

KiSS RADiO is proud to be an official partner of this year’s Pride Festival in Vancouver, and is excited to share this new experience with the LGBT2Q+ community!

Pride can’t be cancelled – only re-imagined – which is why the team at Vancouver Pride has been hard at work putting together an amazing line-up of events from all-ages family events to educational opportunities to dance parties. Check out the full line-up with details below!

 

 

TUNING IN…

Unless otherwise noted, every Virtual Event will be live streamed on Facebook, Youtube, and Twitch!

YouTube and Twitch generally have better sound quality but Facebook allows you to create a Watch Party with your friends. Pick the platform that works best for you! Then get together with your chosen family in – Jitsi meet-ups, physically distanced patio parties, or in your home with your pandemic bubble and tune in to watch!

Queer communities have had a whiteness problem for too long. It is not enough to ‘not be racist’ – we need to strive to be anti-racist. Where do we begin? We have curated a free, anti-racist workshop series led by four BIPOC facilitators and one white Jewish facilitator so our communities can learn and grow together.
