2026 Pride Season Theme Announcement & Sponsorship / Partnership Package Release
January 5 2026 | Hamilton, Ontario
Today, Pride Hamilton is excited to announce our 2026 Pride Season Theme: We BELONG., along with the official release of our Sponsorship / Partnership Package.
Pride Hamilton is one of the city’s most vibrant and beloved community celebrations, bringing thousands of 2SLGBTQIA+ community members, families, allies, artists, vendors, and partners together each summer at Pier 4 Park. What began as a local gathering has grown into a major festival that celebrates identity, visibility, and community pride, while creating space for people to feel safe, welcome, and free to be themselves.
“As we move toward Pride Hamilton 2026, we are building an even stronger festival with expanded programming, increased accessibility, and greater opportunities for connection. We are committed to creating a celebration that reflects the diversity, resilience, and spirit of our community.” says Kiel Hughes, Chair of the Pride Hamilton Board of Directors.
In 2025, more than 14,000 attendees filled the park for a weekend of performances, food, art, drag, music, family programming, and heartfelt moments of connection
Our reach extended to millions across Hamilton and beyond through television, radio, digital campaigns, and social media.
Pride happens because so many community partners believe in visibility, belonging, and the power of creating safe and joyful spaces. Sponsorship directly supports the work that allows Pride to remain free, accessible, and community-focused; and it helps us create unforgettable moments for thousands of people.
