Opening at 2:00pm AS the parade starts, take a few minutes to parooze our Craft Vendors or the Waterfront Container Village Vendors for all your cool pride finds.

Then step outside and cheer as we march from Smythe Street to the AREA 506 Village and boy will we bring the party with us!

Then we’ll boogie down to inspirational songs by our own Gloria Dawn Halvorsen, followed by the amazing Zach Ingles!

We’ll have a storytime booth, crafts, including a mosaic craft by Saint John’s Artist in residence Sheryl Crowley of Fractured Art Mosaics she’ll collaborate with Chroma: Pride, Inclusion, Equality, Inc. (Chroma NB) to create an interactive and moveable mural which explores the richness of Diversity as connected to the Queer community of Saint John and the importance of our Inter-Connection through Compassion.

What would a celebration be without making sure that you bring home all kinds of goodies from our Craft Market!
