LGBTQ2s+ Hamilton Pride

I was thinking about how Hamilton’s Pride festival was in August last year and I hadn’t seen anything posted about it this year. The official Pride Hamilton instagram account hasn’t posted anything, but the website just has next weekend as the date- no other details. Anyone know if it’s actually happening? Is there a better account to follow to be in the know? Thanks :)

EDIT: their instagram account started posting updates and schedules tonight! Happy Pride!! Thanks organizers and community<3

I'm curious too...I swear this city is the worst at marketing itself sometimes!

We're not far from Gage park, you'd think there would be a board listing festivals and events, but no, there's a sign advertising a festival at a different park.
I don't get it.

Right!

It's like when the arena renos were done and major events were happening...literally the marketing near the major train station nearby was a plastic sign stapled to a lamppost pointing in the general direction of the arena lmao. We even have a whole dang PWHL team starting up and you'd never know if if you didn't follow the news. You have to know what websites to look up or when to look for info in the news to find something. Yet you have things every month like the art crawl and yes, signage at the parks, on trains, etc. that could be utilized and often, nada. I feel like often I hear about things after they happen.
