Pride Fest President Levi Cox said that the committee worked extra hard in creating a month jam packed with activities that offer something for everyone.

“For Lethbridge Pride Fest we are all about showing the diversity our community has and celebrating the love,” Levi said. “We like to create events for all of the community to enjoy because we all have friends and family that fall under the LGBTQ rainbow.”

In the evening Lethbridge will see its largest 18+ Pride Dance ever with “Over the Rainbow” being held at Heritage Hall.

The dance features noteworthy drag queens and local performers.

“We’re really excited for our Pride dance. We are flying in a very famous drag queen named Milk and we have local performers as well as performers from Calgary at the event so that’s a night not to miss,” Cox said.
