East Side Pride 2017 to celebrate East Vancouver's LGBT community this Saturday

    1 of 2 2 of 2

      While June is LGBT Pride Month, Vancouver's Pride parade isn't held until August 6.

      That doesn't mean we don't have Pride festivities to celebrate though. Vancouver's official Pride season kicks off this Thursday (June 22) with the StandOUT Awards (formerly the Pride Legacy Awards).

      Shortly thereafter, East Side Pride gets the party started on Saturday (June 24) in East Vancouver.

      This family-friendly event will run from noon until 6 p.m. at Grandview Park (at Commercial Drive and Charles Street).

      The entertainment lineup will include Dia Nos, RedSoulBluez, Michelle Joly, Carousel Scene, Scizzor Fairy, drag performances, and more.

      There'll also be a vendor village to browse through, activities provided by RainCity Ultimate Team, and possibly some salsa lessons.
