About this event

Join us for a special EQHP Jane's Walk edition!

Michael Phair, and special guest, will lead another fun and fabulous queer history walking tour filled with stories, gossip, and frivolity. Starting and ending at Michael Phair Park, this tour gives you the opportunity to learn about the defining moments that helped shape Edmonton's queer community, including stories about Gay Alliance Towards Equality(GATE) and the gay disco district of 104 St.

Jane’s Walk is an annual festival of free, community-led walking conversations inspired by Jane Jacobs.
