Thunder Bay Pride Festival 2026 is made possible through the support of community partners, donors, sponsors, and local organizations, including Ingaged, Tbaytel, Impala Canada, NorWest Community Health Centres, Thunder Bay Counselling, YourThunderBay.ca, Teleco, Jones Insurance, St. Joseph’s Care Group, and many others who help make Pride possible in Thunder Bay.

Pride is happening rain or shine because growth needs a little rain. Bring water, sunscreen, comfortable shoes, weather-appropriate clothing, and anything you need for a day outdoors.

Come celebrate with us, support the local community, and help keep Pride growing beyond June.
