Valley Pride’s flagship event is back for a third year! Join us in making Kentville the queerest town in Nova Scotia at our fabulous annual takeover of the ToK.

Come together with us at Miner’s Marsh at 11 for our annual pride march, featuring speakers and a loud and proud march around downtown Kentville.

We’ve got a fantastic day of programming for the whole family with musical performances, games, a vendor market and resource fair, and so much more all happening in Centre Square starting at noon.

You won’t want to miss the Twirl Time family drag show at the Kings Arms Pub. You’ll want to get your tickets to this one soon–it sells out quickly every year! Treat your little ones to an afternoon of glitter and joy with family-friendly drag performances and story time.

Then end the night off with an evening of glitz and glam at Queer Prom at Maritime Express.

Performers:

Freya Milliken is an award-winning singer-songwriter whose music resonates with warmth, authenticity and introspection. Known for her rich, velvety voice and dynamic blend of indie-folk and rock influences, Freya’s music will take you through an evocative journey of self-discovery and reflection, with a gentle yet powerful lure into an intimate and heartfelt realm. Her debut EP, Wholeheartedly, explores queer longing, love, and joy, while embracing the various stages of navigating relationships and identity. To love or live wholeheartedly is to do so without reservation, to be intrepid leaders of our own lives. With raw honesty, the EP captures both the beauty and the challenges of loving and being loved.

The Wolfville Queer Community Choir is a multi-generational group of singers from the 2SLGBTQIA+ community who gather each week to make music and connect with one another. We are always happy to welcome new members and encourage folks with any singing experience and all ages to join. This choir is a queer space.
