The Details Behind the Theme...
The board has voted on the 2025 theme for the Pride Festival:
“The Rainbow and Beyond: Stronger Together”
This theme represents the strength our community has within and beyond the rainbow. It is a call to action to our allies (individuals, organisations and more) who must stand up and fight for us. It stands as a reminder to persevere, even in times of uncertainty. To hold space for all walks of life, to ask questions, and to hear their stories.
As we transition into a New Year and a new Pride Festival, we will fight for everyone to keep thriving, learning and growing together. We will always celebrate what makes us unique, and that we all deserve the privilege to excel, thrive and live without fear of persecution or hatred.
This June, we will celebrate the diversity of genders, sexualities and cultures within the 2SLGBTQIA+ Community in Kingston and area! Our unapologetic self expression and resilience will be a protest against bills, legislation and more who wish to hurt our community.
Pride is 24/7/365 - but our Pride week will be from June 8th - June 15th 2025. Our Pride Parade and Community Fair will be June 14th. Please turn on post notifications on our social media for updates, or check our website for your main spot to learn what’s happening next.
Love, Kingston Pride INC.
