ABOUT VICTORIA’S PRIDE FESTIVAL
Victoria’s first pride festivals began over 25 years ago as large community picnics held in Beacon Hill Park where people gathered to eat, play games, and socialize. Since then, the festival has grown immensely, attracting upwards of 10,000 people to be proud and celebrate love, diversity and inclusivity.
