Hamilton

Events this weekend

Hamilton’s LGBTQ+ community is a vibrant mix of students, artists, families, and longtime locals, with strong roots in grassroots organizing and queer-friendly small businesses. It’s shaped by the city’s creative scene, its working-class history, and a growing network of inclusive spaces across downtown, the east end, and beyond. From drag and nightlife to sober hangs, community meetups, and advocacy events, Hamilton’s queer scene is built around showing up for each other.

An in-person event celebrating queer joy, resistance, and leadership by LGBTQI+ refugees and newcomers on Human Rights Day. The symposium will feature voices rising in support and recognition, taking place at 163 Queen Street East, Toronto, ON, starting at 9:00 AM on February 27, 2026. Doors open at 8:30 AM, and the event lasts approximately 8 hours and 30 minutes, welcoming attendees of all ages.
