Southwest Nova Pride Association (formerly Yarmouth Pride Collective & Yarmouth Pride and Events) are pleased to announce that this year’s Southwest Nova Pride Festival will be held from Thursday 15 September to Sunday 18 September.
After the pandemic put a hold on Pride for 2020 and 2021, the board has an exciting long weekend of events planned for this year, including Pride Trivia, Pride Karaoke, a Pride Fair in Coronation Park on Saturday 17 September and services with Beacon Church on Sunday morning and a pancake brunch after.
In the interim since last Pride, Yarmouth Pride Collective & Yarmouth Pride and Events have come together to incorporate as the non-profit Southwest Nova Pride Association (SWNPA). This year’s Pride Festival will be our inaugural event. “Announcements are coming about additional projects in the near future, but it is our hope to be a regular fixture of the Yarmouth social calendar while providing an affirming and nurturing community for all 2SLGBTQIA+ residents of the Tri-Counties and their families,” said board secretary, Alden Mathieu.
