The week will also feature the virtual Calgary Pride Parade on Sept. 5, as well as a movie night, theatre night and music night.
A fundraiser will be held to support Calgary’s 2SLGBTQ+ community and businesses who participate in Pride Week will receive free diversity and inclusion training.
Last year, the Pride Parade was cancelled and the week-long Calgary Pride Festival was held virtually, due to COVID-19.
