Aces, Aros, and allies! Join us to march in the Calgary Pride Parade. Join us at our muster point (to be posted) by 10:10 and be ready by 10:30 at the latest. This page will be updated as we get our staging information and more specific details.

This is a Pride event, dress bright, dress in our colours. Bring a sign, wave flags. Have fun with it. If you need a tshirt in purple or green we have a few loaners that can be brought to the staging grounds if you email us beforehand. We will also have a few small flags if you do not have one yourself. If you want to bring something like facepaint for the group send us an email so we can let people know.

This is an outdoor event. Dress for the weather. That means sunhat, sunscreen, coat, umbrella. It’s Calgary, you’ve seen the weather. We will be on our feet for a while so bring sturdy shoes and plenty of water. Whatever you bring, you will be carrying as we don’t have a vehicle where you can stash a backpack for the duration of the parade.

If you are marching you will be photographed.

If you don’t want to march or are unable to but still want to hang out with a group, we have an Observer’s group that will be meeting up and watching the parade together.

If you have marched or are in the Observor's Group and want to hang out we will be meeting in the East Village Good Earth after the Parade. Feel free to join us for a rest and drink before we head to the festival.

Please RSVP for both events in their respective facebook events or at abacesandaros@gmail.com

We will be in staging area F-9, between 7th and 8th St along 9th Ave SW
