As Airdrie Pride Festival quickly approaches (3 days!), we are so excited to introduce you to our amazing local sponsors!
By supporting Airdie Pride Festival, all sponsors support inclusivity, diversity, and pride in our community. Sponsors are the backbone of this festival, and allow us to provide ongoing support to our wonderful community.
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.
We are so thrilled to partner with these local businesses as they showcase their support for the Airdrie community.
Recognizing the support of sponsors, suppliers, and contributors with each event is vital - without the help of many in the community, Airdrie Pride Society could not make this event a reality.
THANK YOU to everyone involved this weekend. Airdrie is a great place to live and thrive thanks to the folks who make our community what it is. We are so excited to see you at the Airdrie Pride Festival!

Our highlights are always the inspiring conversations with the young tech enthusiasts who were unsure about their place in the tech world. We shared how inclusive Microsoft tools are and our company's desire for talented individuals and passionate customers, no matter who they are. It's all about #Automation4All, #Automation4Everyone, and #Automation4Anyone!
