Banff Pride Festival

Celebrate love, diversity and community against one unforgettable backdrop at the Banff Pride Festival. Returning to Banff from October 2–12, 2026, this 10-day celebration brings Pride to the heart of Banff National Park with colourful events, incredible entertainment and plenty of opportunities to connect.
Throughout the festival, Banff comes alive with a packed lineup of drag shows, live music, a speaker series, outdoor adventures and community events taking place at venues across town. From high-energy celebrations to meaningful conversations and mountain experiences, Banff Pride combines culture, connection and the beauty of the Canadian Rockies.
With both free and ticketed events and programming for a variety of ages and interests, there are plenty of ways to join the celebration. Come for a favourite event or make a getaway of it and experience several days of Pride festivities, fall adventures and everything Banff has to offer.
