US EditionEdmonton Pride Parade returns after seven-year hiatus, to be led by trans march
The parade returns after a seven-year break to promote transgender visibility amid recent Alberta legislation affecting transgender rights, featuring live performances and community events.
- On Saturday, Edmonton's Pride parade returns after a seven-year absence, led by what organizers say is the first Edmonton Trans March for Visibility and Equality organized by RaricaNow.
- After bills passed in Alberta last year, the Alberta government requires children 16 or younger to get parental consent for name or pronoun changes, bans doctors from gender-affirming care, with a court injunction halting the care ban.
- Festival organizers say the weekend will include artisan markets, food trucks, live performances by Fefe Dobson, Jamie Fine, Kelly, Willam, Alaska, and a meet-and-greet with Angelica Ross, attracting many queer youth attending their first Pride parade.
- Organizers say the return is meant to uplift transgender people, with RaricaNow framing the march against "ongoing attacks on the trans community" and LGBTQ+ community members and allies expected Saturday.
- Considered part of the Prairies' biggest Pride, organizers and observers say the parade is a celebration and reminder that community members worldwide still fight for their rights.
