TGIL...THANK GORD IT'S LETHBIANS.

Hey Lethbians! We can't wait to pack the Owl full of you for this year's Pride AND if this ain't intersectionally THE DAY worth waiting a whole year for...we don't know what is.

Grab your queer friends, your "straight" friends, heck maybe even your cat (with a long enough trench coat) and leave it to us to help you burn all those extra daylight minutes on the 2nd longest day of Summer BUT also make it Pride. 

Market at 7pm-Free before 8

Drag starts at 8pm

Dj after 10pm

Cast and vendor announcements on June 1st...Soooo hold to the your gender affirming undies of your choice.

Starting the night off with Vendors to first and foremost reinvest in the communities that have cared for this land all along through our Indigenous market. 

Right when you're about ready to drop from the shop, we'll get you falling over in a totally different way with our all throwbacks drag show.

Make sure you SHOW UP in your 70's, 80's, 90's Y2K head to toe over-ness cause you'll not only score the attention of local Lethbians, but you'll also find yourself with some bitchin' prizes.

And to take you home (to taking your crush home?) we'll vibe and bop to throwbacks beats and beyond with a DJ.

Tickets are $20 for Drag and Dance party or $10 after 10pm

PWYC for Indigenous folx

Allyship matters every day of the dang year, but we're really hoping that people recognize that Indigenous People's Day during Pride is a powerful moment to celebrate Indigiqueer Joy and support in any ways you can.

Reconciliation has to be ongoing to be meaningful. Please take to to learn, unlearn, reflect and take action to find your role as a treaty partner, as this event is being hosted on stolen lands.

Being settlers on this sacred space gives us the opportunity to entertain but not without first making a life long commitment to acknowledge the original keepers of this land and the pain that continues to be perpetrated by broken systems and promises. 

In the spirit of our commitment to reconciliation, it's critical that we start by echoing the names of the nations who's homes we are taking up. We reside on the home of the Traditional Territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy which is comprised of the the Piikani, the Siksika, Kainai as well as the Îyâxe Nakoda, Tsuut’ina nations and Métis battle grounds 5 and 6 of the Otipemisiwak constitution. We honour Sinóóhkotok and all nations who are the first caretakers of this revered land. 

Second we have an obligation to continuously reflect and take action to repair the damage and harm enacted upon Indigenous communities. Our Cast will address and take action on at least one item, and amplify the work being done on the 94 the calls to action every time we produce an event in addition to bringing awareness and simplicity for our audience to take action as well. 

Please note, this event is hosted and organized by Noble Oney Drag.
