Market at 7pm-Free before 8
Drag starts at 8pm
Dj after 10pm
Cast and vendor announcements on June 1st...Soooo hold to the your gender affirming undies of your choice.

PWYC for Indigenous folx
Allyship matters every day of the dang year, but we're really hoping that people recognize that Indigenous People's Day during Pride is a powerful moment to celebrate Indigiqueer Joy and support in any ways you can.
Reconciliation has to be ongoing to be meaningful. Please take to to learn, unlearn, reflect and take action to find your role as a treaty partner, as this event is being hosted on stolen lands.
Being settlers on this sacred space gives us the opportunity to entertain but not without first making a life long commitment to acknowledge the original keepers of this land and the pain that continues to be perpetrated by broken systems and promises.
In the spirit of our commitment to reconciliation, it's critical that we start by echoing the names of the nations who's homes we are taking up. We reside on the home of the Traditional Territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy which is comprised of the the Piikani, the Siksika, Kainai as well as the Îyâxe Nakoda, Tsuut’ina nations and Métis battle grounds 5 and 6 of the Otipemisiwak constitution. We honour Sinóóhkotok and all nations who are the first caretakers of this revered land.
Second we have an obligation to continuously reflect and take action to repair the damage and harm enacted upon Indigenous communities. Our Cast will address and take action on at least one item, and amplify the work being done on the 94 the calls to action every time we produce an event in addition to bringing awareness and simplicity for our audience to take action as well.
Please note, this event is hosted and organized by Noble Oney Drag.
