A series of short films highlighting QTBIPOC perspectives and voices will be offered at the Garrison Grounds as part of the Halifax Pride Festival. Bring a blanket or chairs so you can be cozy while staying socially distant under the stars. Attendance is free. Halifax Pride thanks Inside Out for providing these films.
