Last year we reached over 32,000 participants at our various events, making us the largest Pride festival in Saskatchewan, and the 10th largest in Canada! With over a hundred business and community partners, plus vendors, parade participants and festival attendees, the Saskatoon Pride Festival is a perfect opportunity for the community to celebrate. We will work with you to ensure that your goals for sponsorship are achieved.

This year we have a number of new, innovative events conceived to keep our festival current, meaningful, and financially stable. These include a partnership with RemaiModern to present an evening of premium entertainment with an important message of hope and positivity, a new one-day forum focusing on Hope and Health: Tools for Reclaiming Human Rights, and the exciting Inaugural Rainbow Run.

There are many opportunities for naming sponsorships for events and for in-kind sponsorships, including media sponsorships, volunteer activation, and social media sharing. If you have questions, please don't hesitate to contact us at info@saskatoonpride.ca or call Mike at 306-227-3586.

Also new this year is an online Saskatoon Pride Guide to be published in mid-May. Sponsors at most levels are invited to take advantage of an opportunity to be included as a benefit of your support. 

Finally, the signature event of the Pride Festival is the Pride Parade, this year starting at 12 noon on Saturday, June 22, in the heart of downtown Saskatoon. This year's theme is One Light, Many Colours. Many levels of sponsorship include entry into the parade and a chance for conversation directly with attendees at the festival with an exhibit booth in the Community Services Village.
