Big News for 2026: A Summer Date Change, A New Website, and Ways to Join the Celebration!
Fierté Saint John Fundy Pride is getting ready for a massive season of joy, visibility, and connection. As we gear up for 2026, we are so excited to share three big updates with our community.
We’re Moving to July!
Mark your calendars! In a big shift for our annual celebration, the 2026 Fierté Saint John Fundy Pride Festival is officially moving to mid-summer.
We will be celebrating across the Fundy region from July 17 to July 26, 2026.
Our biggest day of the year, the annual Pride Parade and the Prismatic Festival, will take place on Saturday, July 25.
Why the change? We want to gather under the warmest skies and bring even more bright, playful energy to the streets of Saint John. We are urging our chosen family, local businesses, and allies to update their calendars. We can't wait to share this sunny, earlier celebration with you all.
A New Digital Home
To make sure everyone stays connected, we’ve officially launched a brand-new website. We wanted a space that feels welcoming and makes it easy to find exactly what you need. Whether you're a local checking the event schedule or traveling from out of town to join us, our new site is your central hub for all things Pride.
