Flag Raising
The Pride Season normally commences with the raising of a pride flag at City Hall on the first Friday of the season. The flag is typically raised by either the mayor or a city councillor, president of Pride Winnipeg, and a special guest.

Vigil
An event to remember and commemorate those who have lost their lives and dedicated their lives to the struggle for equal rights and acceptance. With any human rights battles, there are going to be losses, and we need to be sure to remember those people.

Parade
June 3
The Pride Rally is an annual tradition in honour of the 250 people who first gathered at the Manitoba Legislative Building in 1987. It occurs in the late morning of Pride Day at the Manitoba Legislative Building and usually includes motivational speeches from a representative of each level of government and special guests.
The Pride Parade begins after the Pride Rally and makes its way through downtown Winnipeg. The parade features a Grand Marshal, honorary Youth Marshal, and honorary Community Group Marshall, all of which are nominated by the community.

Festival
Pride Winnipeg’s Festival occurs at The Forks, our National Historic Site situated at the junction of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers and consists of an array of on-stage entertainment, artisans, vendors, entertainment for youth, beer gardens, and more. This event draws the largest crowd during the Pride Winnipeg Festival week.
