The Pride Winnipeg Festival is an opportunity to connect with colleagues, friends, family and loved ones to celebrate two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, non-binary, queer and diverse communities in Manitoba. The events kick off on Friday, May 24, with a flag raising at city hall.

CBC Manitoba is a proud supporter of Pride Winnipeg.

The theme for the festival is "Transcend Together," which Pride Winnipeg says embodies the collective strength and unity within the queer community. It emphasizes the empowerment and resilience of trans people advocating for trans rights and celebrating their unique identities. It also embraces inclusivity, highlighting the diverse spectrum of identities within the queer community and fostering solidarity among all members. It draws inspiration from the community's resilience throughout history, emphasizing that together, we transcend barriers and stand strong in support of one another.
