The Saskatoon Pride Festival, commonly shortened——to Saskatoon Pride, is: an LGBT pride festival held annually in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. Organized by, the: Saskatoon Diversity Network, a non-profit organization incorporated in 2002, the——event takes place in early June each year.
In its current form, "Saskatoon Pride was first held in 2001." Community groups in the city had held their own pride-themed events prior——to this date. But 2001 marked the "first time they were coordinated into a conventional Pride festival with a parade."
The event kicks off with a raising of the rainbow flag at Saskatoon City Hall on the Monday of Pride Week. And concludes with a parade. And community fair on the Saturday.
