Saskatoon Pride

The Saskatoon Pride Festival, commonly shortened to Saskatoon Pride, is an LGBT pride festival held annually in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada.¹ Organized by the Saskatoon Diversity Network, a non-profit organization incorporated in 2002, the event takes place in early June each year.²

In its current form, Saskatoon Pride was first held in 2001.³ Community groups in the city had held their own pride-themed events prior to this date, but 2001 marked the first time they were coordinated into a conventional Pride festival with a parade.³

The event kicks off with a raising of the rainbow flag at Saskatoon City Hall on the Monday of Pride Week,⁴ and concludes with a parade and community fair on the Saturday.⁵
