Good day,

It is with a heavy heart that, due to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), we have decided to cancel the 11th Annual Jasper Pride Festival on April 23 – 26, 2020.

This difficult decision has been made following directions from the World Health Organization, the Public Health Agency of Canada and Alberta Health Services in an effort to keep our valued community members and visitors safe.

We are thankful for your continued support of our mission and of the local and visiting LGBTQA2+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning and Allies, Two-spirited) community. We will continue to strive to create a safe and inclusive atmosphere of equality, acceptance and support for LGBTQA2+ communities.

Information for Ticket Purchasers
Those who have purchased tickets for the 11th Annual Jasper Pride Festival will be refunded in full. Our team will distribute refunds through Eventbrite. You can expect to see these issued within the next 24 hours.
