Although Pride has come to be known for spectacle, dance parties, and huge crowds, we believe the moments shared with friends and chosen family, old and new, are what make the festival special. We also know it's important to go outside, get some fresh air, and be mindful of our mental and social health. We want to encourage folks to join us at the Garrison Grounds for the Halifax Pride Social Site, a space where masks will be worn, hand washing stations and sanitizer will be available, social distancing will be maintained, and sun, grass, music, and friends will be plentiful.
What is a day in the park without some games?!? We will have a variety of lawn games and over-sized board games on hand for folks to enjoy during our afternoon hangout. And of course they will be thoroughly cleaned after each use.
Halifax Pride merchandise and snacks will be available for purchase on site. Payment accepted by card only due to COVID-19 safety guidelines.
To support safer healthy spaces, attendees must:
- Stay 2 metres away from other people as much as possible, unless with a close social bubble of up to 10
- Wear a mask covering the nose and mouth
- Wash or sanitize hands often
- Cough and sneeze into a tissue or your elbow
- Refrain from attending in-person events if experiencing COVID-19 symptoms
