    Hello and Happy Friday from Pride Collingwood & The Rainbow Club of South Georgian Bay!

    The Rainbow Club of South Georgian Bay invites you to the Collingwood Pride Festival! Join us July 12th and 13th for a free, 2-day outdoor festival that includes a star-studded drag show with Canada’s Drag Race alumni, Jada Shada Hudson, Kimmy Couture, BOA, and season one winner, and star of HBO’s “We’re Here”, Queen Priyanka! Festivities begin Friday, July 12th with the official flag-raising ceremony at 4pm outside of the Collingwood Public Library. Then Saturday, July 13th we are shutting down Simcoe Street with fully licensed festival grounds! You can enjoy local performances in the afternoon, show your pride during the Pride Parade, or bring the kids to the family zone. Love wins in Collingwood!

    “Our focus is connecting people within our community – both our LGBT+ community and our straight allies – making this a community where people feel safe to love who they love,”
    — Michelle Kemper, Rainbow Club President.
