Proud Quebec City
Diversity takes the street, from the Place d'Youville to Saint-Jean Street · Quebec, Quebec, Canada
The festival
Born under the name of Fête Arc-en-ciel, La Pierté de Québec has been bringing together since 2004 communities of sexual and gender diversity and their allies in the heart of the capital. Its 22nd edition was held from September 4 to 6, 2026, the weekend of Fête du Travail: three days of shows on the TD Scene of Place d'Youville, of drag, humor, podcasts and meetings, between Old Quebec and Rue Saint-Jean, which became pedestrian.
A largely free programming, both party and demand, which makes visibility a collective gesture.
