WE
PROVIDE
PRIDE REUNITED
JUNE 3-5, 2022 AT THE GRINDSTONE
Fruit Loop is excited to bring you not one, but TWO incredible weekends of Pride programming. June 3 -5 and June 11. Proceeds from both weekends will support our community partner, Rainbow Refuge!
​
From June 3 - 5 we will be partnering with the Grindstone Theatre for a FREE street fair of epic proportions. Pride activities will be returning to Old Strathcona in west Ritchie AKA the garage district as we host a series of outdoor live performances, drag shows, dancers, photo booths, community booths, workshops, food trucks, beer gardens and late night dance parties to celebrate Pride here in Edmonton.
​
Many thanks to our Presenting Sponsor TD with outstanding support from SeaChange Brewing, Freddie, and Pattison!
​
With main stage takeovers by Indigi Hauz of Beaver Hills, Party Queens, and your Fruit Loop favourites.
​
Live Music by Matthew and the Keys, Emmet Michael and Homofonik!
Workshops on Sunday including morning yoga, drag lessons, and more!
Experience: Instruction from theatre professionals with a ton of experience.
A Safe Space: An inclusive environment to try a new skill, while being supported and challenged.
Curated Curriculum: A well-curated curriculum which advances with each level.
