Calgary Pride Parade Observers Group

Aces, Aros, A-Specs, and Allies! We welcome you to sit with us & cheer on the Calgary Pride Parade.

Please use the RSVP button on this page if you're interested in watching the parade with us! We will email you the day before the parade with any updates, and provide you with contact info should you need help finding us. 

We plan to meet at Rosso Coffee Roasters on Stephen Ave (if it's too crowded inside the cafe, our Observers Group host may stand outside on the main floor of the Telus Convention space). Our group will assemble starting at 10am and by 10:30, we will head out to find a spot to watch the parade, aiming for around the Calgary Tower. 

Bring your own chair if you wish, otherwise, be prepared to stand as there is not always space to sit on the ground. Feel free to dress up in greens/purples or carry a flag/sign! Please also bring your own water bottle & snacks and check the weather forecast (bring a hat, sunscreen, umbrella, etc. if you want one). 

Extra Notes:

• If you plan to use Calgary Transit, please check the transit website as there are train station closures & bus detours in effect. https://www.calgarytransit.com/content/transit/en/home/service-updates.html
• Watching the full parade can take 2+ hours. Of course, it's fine if you wish to leave early! 
• If you start with the observer's group and change your mind, it may be possible to get up & join our marching group as they walk past.

This is an open event which means that everyone is welcome to attend, whether you’re a-spec yourself, questioning/unlabelled, or an ally who wants to celebrate Pride with us. Let us know if you have any questions (email: ABAcesandAros@gmail.com).
