Notes of Pride

Celebrate queer talent with the Victoria Downtown Residents Association at our first FREE concert of the summer! This unofficial warm-up to the Pride Festival will feature live, bicycle-powered music by The Wild Drift and Élise LeBlanc, and poetry by Dex Neily. Invite your friends, grab a blanket or a lawn chair, and bring along a picnic! This event will take place on the homelands of the Lekwungen People. We are grateful to the CRD Arts & Culture Support Service for their financial assistance. Accessibility details: The event will take place on the grass in Cridge Park. There are paved pathways that provide access to the park and there are accessible parking spots behind the Church of our Lord, which can be accessed from Humboldt just west of Blanshard. If you have questions or concerns about accessibility at the event, please contact us at engage@victoriadra.ca. We encourage those who are able to walk, cycle or take public transit to the event. The closest bus stops are on the north side of Belleville west of Douglas and on the east side of Douglas in front of the Crystal Garden building. There is paid street parking on Humboldt between Penwell and Blanshard and paid parking in the WestPark lot at 646 Superior St.
