Halifax Pride is getting ready for this summer’s edition of the annual summer festival, with Once Upon a Pride as the theme.

The Pride crew has come up with all kinds of events this year, sticking with popular favourites, including the Dykes vs Divas game, Drag Queen Bingo and Queer Acts, but also OUT Loud, a rock and roll night at Michael’s Bar and Grill, and much more.
