Celebrate Pride with Youth Pride Durham!

Youth Pride Durham returns on June 22

This event is rain or shine! Updates will be available on the Youth Pride Durham Facebook page.

Youth Pride Durham is a safe, inclusive celebration for youth, children and families who are part of 2SLGBTQI+ communities. Allies are also welcome!

We look forward to seeing you on June 22, from 1 to 4 p.m., at Durham Regional Headquarters, 605 Rossland Road East, in Whitby.

This free event champions acceptance through an afternoon of electrifying live performances from Sofonda and Wilma; catchy tunes from DJ Psi; face painting, a photo booth and a forum for community organizations and agencies to gather in the Resource Village. Bring your reusable water bottles and stay hydrated at our water station.

Youth Pride Durham Welcomes Artist Tracy Davidson

Tracy from Pink Brushes will be preparing a beautiful backdrop of wings that can be used for photos.

A little bit about Tracy:

I’m an artist with a focus on inclusivity and acceptance. I enjoy painting in vibrant colors and being mindful of reflecting my community in my artwork.

I’ve had the privilege of painting for numerous small businesses, various levels of government, Cancer Care, food banks, soup kitchens, to even painting for Rexall at Church and Wellesley for Pride 2023.

I like to joke that I can paint on anything it’ll stick to. This includes walls, windows, mirrors, roads, parking spots, crosswalks, boards, canvas, picnic tables. I like to leave the world a little more colorful each day.
