Thank you for your interest in partnering with Calgary Pride!

At Calgary Pride, we aim to provide impactful engagement opportunities and significant community profile for partners who share our vision of a diverse, inclusive Calgary.

2019 was momentous for Calgary Pride; we experienced the highest reported attendance, 100,000, and 177 entries in the parade, seeing over 50 events in ten days! And we know we could not have accomplished any of this without the support of our many partners.

An economic impact study completed in partnership with Tourism Calgary for the 2016 year highlights the value of the festival in supporting our wonderfully diverse and inclusive economy here in Calgary, with a reported $2.7 million contributed to Alberta’s GDP and 21 full-time jobs being supported. Taking into consideration the growth of Calgary Pride since that time, we know the impact is even higher than that!

For this year, our 30th Anniversary, we pivot entirely in the face of COVID-19, finding ways to connect our community that are both safe and celebratory.

Our plan for 2020 includes a virtual engagement strategy and a brand new Festival Business Initiative, ensuring that Calgary’s local businesses ARE Calgary Pride. We are pleased to offer robust recognition strategies for our partners including on-air shoutouts, exhibit booth space in our Virtual Marketplace, social media airtime, and more. These recognition strategies are fully customizable to what works best for you and your business or organization, so let’s get creative together!
