Pride Weekend Opening Night

Start Pride Weekend in the biggest way with our Opening Night! Go ALL IN on your Pride Weekend by showing up right at the start, 6PM and stay through till the end to see the best lineup of 2SLGBTQI+ dance artists in the world.

Beginning with our Opening Ceremony where we officially begin the festivities with a libation ceremony, speeches from our honoured guests from Toronto and around the world, and our 2025 International Grand Marshall. Then a traditional Indigenous opening ceremony featuring two-spirit drummers, hoop dancers, shawl dancers, and an opening prayer by an Elder. This portion is curated in collaboration with 2-Spirited People of the 1st Nations.

Then the celebration keeps on going with a very special performance from Singing Out, Toronto’s largest 2SLGBTQQIA+ choir, followed by lively performances from Kaleena Zanders, bringing love and vibration; Kiesza, ready to hideaway with you some more; and your host for the evening, Canadian Drag Icon ,what’s her name? Priyanka! Lastly, hot off her viral Boiler Room set, THE Rebecca Black will be DJing for the first time ever in Toronto! This is a diverse and hella fun show that you will not want to miss a second of!
