2025 Pride Banner

Pride Week in Richmond is a celebration of members of the Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex and gender diverse (2SLGBTQI+) communities in our city. Happening annually starting the last Monday of July, Pride Week features inclusive events and interactive activities with local leaders, artists, performers and community members. Events are presented by the City of Richmond in partnership with Community Associations and Societies, and the Richmond Public Library.

Pride Week 2025 will be held from July 28 to August 3 to honour and recognize the 2SLGBTQI+ community. This year’s theme, “Pride Lives Here,” anchors Pride in the Richmond community and affirms that 2SLGBTQI+ communities belong here.

Pride Lives Here celebrates the presence, contributions and resilience of 2SLGBTQI+ communities and allies in Richmond during Pride Week and beyond. For more information on this year’s Pride Week events, visit richmond.ca/PrideWeek.

“[Pride Week] was a beautiful event and many community members were supportive and happy to participate. It was a great opportunity for youth and their families to participate and engage in positive dialogue around diversity and LGBTQ2S+ community building.”
The City of Richmond is committed to advancing diversity, equity and inclusion by celebrating and recognizing the unique contributions of the 2SLGBTQI+ community to our city. To access 2SLGBTQI+ resources, please refer to:
