About Pride Hamilton

It all begins with an idea.

Pride Hamilton is driven by our volunteer Board of Directors and a dedicated team of volunteers, bringing our events to life.

Pride Hamilton burst onto the scene in 2019, hosting our first official Pride event at Gage Park in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. But the spirit of Pride has been alive in Hamilton since 1991, and in 2021, we marked 30 years of rainbow-filled celebrations. Despite the challenges of Covid-19, we adapted, hosting virtual Pride festivities in 2020 and 2021. In 2022, we joyously returned to in-person celebrations at the Hamilton Convention Centre by Carmen's. Since then, we have celebrated with the community at Pier 4 Park, and we look forward to welcoming you this year!

While Pride Hamilton doesn’t rely on traditional mission or vision statements, our focus is clear:

To plan inclusive community events throughout the year, standing proudly with Hamilton's Two Spirit and
LGBTQIA+ communities.

We aspire to grow our impact as we build trust and support from the Hamilton Community and beyond.

Our vision goes beyond a single annual celebration; we aim to offer diverse events and services year-round, creating a more inclusive and vibrant community.

Join us as we celebrate diversity, foster unity, and empower change in Hamilton and beyond.
