We BELONG

2026 Pride Season Wrapped!

The glitter may be settling over Pier 4 Park, but our hearts are still radiating all the warmth, joy, and fabulous rainbow energy from Pride 2026: We BELONG! A huge, overflowing, sparkling thank you to our breathtaking community, generous sponsors, tireless volunteers, show-stopping performers, magnificent vendors, and every single person who showed up to dance, support, and celebrate. You proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that when we say We BELONG, we mean every single one of us. Together, we built a space that was unapologetically queer, deeply inspirational, and a roaring success from start to finish.

While the main stage lights are down for the season, the Pride Hamilton magic doesn't stop here! Make sure you’re following us on Instagram to relive the best moments, catch festival photos, and keep this incredible community momentum going strong. Be sure to check back on our website in the coming months for exciting off-season event announcements - - and get ready for the grand reveal of our Pride 2027 theme! Until then, keep shining bright, loving loudly, and taking care of one another, Hamilton.

CELEBRATING PRIDE, FOSTERING UNITY, EMPOWERING CHANGE.

THAT’S PRIDE HAMILTON.

We aspire to grow our impact as we build trust and support from the Hamilton community and beyond. Our vision goes beyond a single annual celebration; we aim to offer diverse events and services year-round, creating a more inclusive and vibrant community.

I am proud that our city celebrates Pride. This is a time for everyone in our city to come together and recognize the experiences, contributions and achievements of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, and to cultivate places and opportunities to engage in inclusive ways that honour, respect and embrace the role of pride in shaping our city.

-Andrea Horwath, Mayor - City of Hamilton
