Look forward to performances by local bands, Improv, an East Van fashion show, and serenades by some of the East Side’s top drag performers.

The East Side Pride Market offers a chance to take in the work of local artisans and learn more about community groups and services, including HIM, Out on Screen, Qmunity, Vancouver Latin LGBT Community, and Vancouver Coastal Health LGBTQ2+ services.
