Produced by local partners who live, work, and create in Calgary, Pride on the Island is more than just another event. It is the beginning of a new tradition built by our community, for our community. 

Dickens will be operating site-wide alcohol consumption, the night will be hosted by Karla Marx, with The Cabaret Company, Detour YYC, and Calgary Pride working together behind the scenes to bring this event to life.
