Celebrating Our Incredible 2026 Airdrie Pride Festival Sponsors!The countdown is officially on! With only 6 days to go until the 2026 Airdrie Pride Festival on June 20th, we are absolutely thrilled to spotlight the wonderful local sponsors who are helping make this year’s celebration possible.
Our sponsors are the heartbeat of this festival. By stepping up, each of these businesses and organizations is making a powerful statement in support of diversity, equality, and belonging right here in Airdrie. Their generosity doesn't just fund a single day of celebration—it fuels our ability to provide year-round advocacy, programs, and safe spaces for our LGBTQ2S+ community.
We are incredibly proud to collaborate with these community-minded champions as they visibly showcase their commitment to a more inclusive Airdrie.
Putting together an event of this scale truly takes a village. The vital contributions of our sponsors, local vendors, and behind-the-scenes suppliers are what turn our collective vision into a vibrant reality.
Airdrie Pride Festival would not be possible without the collaboration and support provided by the City of Airdrie. The City of Airdrie continues to provide support through grants and continued consultation, and by supporting many exceptional events in our community.
A Massive THANK YOU to Everyone Involved!
Airdrie is a brighter, more inclusive place to live, grow, and thrive because of community members like you.
We can’t wait to celebrate love, identity, and community alongside all of you this Saturday, June 20th. See you at the festival!
