In addition to VanPrideFest, the Bubly Davie Street Lounge will host a series of dynamic events from July 26 to August 4, with a special opening ceremony led by local Indigenous icon Jaylene Tyme. Meanwhile, Granville Island will be transformed into a Queer haven as Canada Pride takes over with a laid-back lounge featuring a variety of events starting on August 1.
