We’re back and better than ever! The SWNPA Pride Market is inside & outside Beacon Hall with something for all ages!
We have vendors of all kinds, from artists and crafters to 2SLGBTQIA+ advocacy, support, and community organizations. We have food — sweet, savory, cute, crunchy — and of course, a bouncy climb & slide for the kids!
All-ages, admission is free. Event is wheelchair/mobility aid-accessible, with a quiet room.
SWNPA Pride 2024 Keynote Speaker Prof. Kate Krug, Chair of the Department of L’nu, Political, and Social Studies at Cape Breton University, is speaking on Canadian Queer history, including stories from her book, Under the Rainbow: A Primer on Queer Issues in Canada.
She has been a Queer activist since she came out as a lesbian in 1983, and this informs her approach to teaching which she sees as a performative, political, and transformative act that can provide the foundation for equity and social justice in the worlds we live in.
Prof. Krug is an engaging storyteller, accomplished academic, and has the activist bona fides to make this an unmissable event!
All ages, free admission, $5 suggested donation.
This is your official ‘save the date’ notice for the 2024 SWNPA Pride Festival! Details forthcoming, but yes, we are hoping to bring back the parade, the fair, karaoke and all your faves!

Did you know that 2024 is the 25th anniversary of the creation of the Transgender Pride Flag??
It is with enormous pride and deep gratitude for our queer elders that the Southwest Nova Pride Association (SWNPA) welcomes American author, activist, and veteran Monica Helms, creator of the Transgender Pride Flag, to speak to our community on Friday April 19th, at 7pm, at Beacon United Church in Yarmouth.
Monica is visiting us as part of the International Day of Pink’s 2024 Visibility Anniversaries Tour. SWNPA is thrilled to once again be collaborating with the International Day of Pink after our hugely successful event with Day of Pink and Stonewall activist Martin Boyce last year.
