Description of the event:
Youth Pride Durham is a collaboration of several service providers and organizations in Durham Region. We host an annual free event as part of Pride month in Durham Region, specifically a celebration for children, youth, parents and allies. We first presented Youth Pride Durham in 2018 and on June 22, 2024 we will host the 5th Annual Youth Pride Durham event, and for the third year it will be hosted by the Region of Durham. The true highlight of our event is our Resource Village which consists of over 40 organizations and service providers in Durham Region eager to offer their support and advocate for the rights of 2SLGBTQI+ children, youth and families. Our event is also packed with phenomenal entertainment starring extremely talented drag queen performers Wilma Checklear and Sofonda, a very special Indigenous opening and closing as well as great music provided by DJ Psi. Hundreds of guests enjoy an educational activity highlighting informative elements such as intersectionality, the meaning of notable observances and tips for allyship. Guests will also enjoy a photo booth, food trucks and many prizes and freebies, including our signature Youth Pride Durham water bottles!
