Edmonton

Parties this weekend

Edmonton's LGBTQ+ community is centered along Whyte Avenue and in the Old Strathcona neighborhood, with a growing queer scene in downtown. Popular venues include Evolution Wonderlounge, The Roost, and Buddy's. Edmonton Pride is a major celebration, and the city hosts various queer events and cultural festivals. Edmonton's northern location and university population create a unique queer community that values both academic and cultural engagement.

Evolution Wonderlounge

Leather Pride

A party for people interested in leather culture.

Queer Dance Party

A weekly queer dance party held at Evolution Wonderlounge.

Emmet Michael returns to the June 6 MainStage for our Pride Block party at Grindstone theatre in support of Rainbow Refuge. Introspective and enthralling, with equal parts grit and grace, Emmet Michael is a musician who was built on his trials. Turning to music in his darkest times, he found solace in his ability to share his heart with others through his lyrics. Drawing on his experience of coming out as queer, living with mental illness, and battling addiction, his songs carry a tone of desperation and sorrow. With soulful melodies and heart wrenching lyrics, his music conveys a message that is both powerful and vulnerable. Entirely unique, yet familiar.
