Walk in the Calgary Pride Parade
Walk With us at the Calgary Pride Parade 🌈
We’re walking in the Calgary Pride Parade, and we would LOVE to have you join us! 💗
Come celebrate queer joy, chosen family, and community alongside Girls Who Like to Do Things. Whether you’re part of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community yourself or showing up as an ally, you are so welcome to walk with us.
You absolutely do not need to know anyone before coming. As always, coming solo is encouraged, and we’ll all be walking together as one big GWLTDT group.
ALL DONATIONS WILL BE GOING TO OUR QUARTERLY FUNDRAISING EFFORTS FOR CENTER FOR SEXUALITY
🌈
PARADE DETAILS:
📍 Calgary Pride Parade
🕚 GWLTDT meeting time: 11:00 AM
🌈 Parade begins: 12:00 PM
🏁 Approximate end: 2:30 PM
📍 Staging area: 9 Avenue S and 11th Street SW in downtown Calgary
WHO CAN JOIN?
All women and gender diverse folks! 🌈
You do not have to identify as queer to walk with us. Allies who want to celebrate and support Calgary’s 2SLGBTQIA+ community are absolutely welcome.
You also do not need to already be involved with GWLTDT or know anyone attending. Come by yourself, come with friends, or bring your whole crew.
If you’re attending with friends, please have each person register individually so that we have an accurate idea of how many people will be walking with us.
WHAT TO BRING:
Please come prepared for a few hours outside and bring:
Comfortable walking shoes
Water
Snacks
Sunscreen
Weather-appropriate clothing
Any Pride accessories you want to wear
Your best Pride energy 🌈
GWLTDT will also be bringing the signs and flags we create at our Pride sign-decorating event!
A FEW IMPORTANT NOTES:
Calgary Pride is a family-friendly event, so please make sure any signs, clothing, or materials you bring are respectful and appropriate for the parade.
During staging and throughout the parade, please follow instructions from Calgary Pride volunteers and GWLTDT organizers. We’ll be walking as a group and want to make sure everyone stays safe and together.
If a protest occurs along the route, Calgary Pride asks parade participants not to engage and to continue following instructions from parade staff.
If you are considering bringing a pet, please remember that the parade can be loud, crowded, and chaotic. Calgary Pride requires pets to be leashed or contained in a pet backpack, and we recommend only bringing animals that are very comfortable in busy environments.
BEFORE YOU REGISTER:
Please register only if you genuinely intend to attend. Having an accurate headcount will make it much easier for our team to organize our group, communicate staging information, and make sure everyone knows where to meet on parade day.
We are SO excited to walk together and celebrate Pride with all of you. 🌈💗
See you at the parade!!
