Congratulations to Peter McPherson of Calgary for winning this amazing VIP Pride weekend package. Have fun and remember to cheers to Calgary Pride!
With Pride season winding down across North America, Calgary Pride is more or less the last major city on the schedule to celebrate diversity and inclusivity. This year, there is no shortage of amazing Pride events to partake in. From a brunch event on Aug. 25th for the Centre of Newcomers helping to welcome LGBTQ+ refugees from around the world to the parade day on Sept. 2nd followed by Pride in the Park, if you are in Calgary during this busy time, you better be willing to show your true colours... and they better be rainbow.
To celebrate Pride in Calgary, we're throwing Sashay, Fillet!, our inaugural Top Chef Canada-meets-RuPaul's Drag Race fundraiser bash on August 30th at Hotel Arts, but a few of our friends around town are throwing some pretty amazing events too. Here's a few of them.
Thursday, Aug. 30th - Sashay, Fillet! co-hosted by Yuhua Hamasaki
Meet us at Hotel Arts to watch the worlds of culinary and drag collide in support of Calgary Pride with co-hosts Yuhua Hamasaki and Top Chef Canada judge Mijune Pak!
