Saskatoon Pride Festival postponed due to COVID-19
In response to developments around COVID-19 and Saskatchewan’s ongoing state of emergency, the Board of Directors of Saskatoon Pride has decided to not host the Saskatoon Pride Festival in a physical format in June 2020.
We are working to create new digital events to keep us all connected, especially during Saskatoon Pride Festival, June 12 – 20. Our number one consideration is your safety and health. All physical Pride events are postponed until they are safe and feasible. Watch our social media for updates soon.
