Halifax Pride Festival

Join us for our daily Queerest of Hours featuring drink and food specials, friendly staff, and the best vibes!

Drawing from the Lesbian Pulp Fiction Collection at Mount Saint Vincent University, Denyse Rodrigues and Terrah Keener will discuss the fascinating literary phenomenon of lesbian pulp fiction with selected readings. Following the talk, queer elders will be present to mingle with attendees and share personal stories of being queer across different decades in a human library format. Please follow @stmargaretsbaypride on IG of FB or visit www.stmargaretsbaypride.ca for more details.

Montreal vs Boston! Hollander vs Rozanov! We're still obsessed and ready to reheat the love for our fave hockey stars with all new trivia! "Are you curious?" OBVIOUSLY! Yes, we just ran Heated Rivalry Trivia in February. We are still so obsessed, and we know you are too, so we're doing it again! If your algorithms are still saturated with the hit Canadian show, Heated Rivalry, then this trivia is for YOU! Join us at the Board Room Game Cafe this Pride to reheat your passion for our favourite fictional hockey players! Not to worry - if you already joined us in February, there will be all new questions this round so please join us again! To participate in this event, players should assemble a team of 2 to 6 players, decide on a clever team name, sign up via Eventbrite, and you’ll be all set for a night of challenging trivia, with questions covering the first season of Heated Rivalry, and few about Nova Scotia's own author, Rachel Reid, and this time we're including a few light questions from the full Game Changers book series! NEW: No team? No problem! Just buy an Individual ticket and get paired up with likeminded individuals! All players will see The Board Room’s standard admission of $10 +HST added to their bills, granting everyone access to both the event and our collection of 600+ board games before and after the event (provided there is space)! The team leader, who is the person that signs up the team for trivia, is required to pre-pay their admission for the night to hold the table (+HST and Eventbrite fees).

HaliHoEvents is taking over Jellies for a special Pride slosh for kinky, poly, ENM, and curious 2SLGBTQIA+ women, femmes, and thems (plus allies who identify as women, femmes, and thems)! This is a low-pressure, drop-in patio hang designed for meeting, greeting, and queer joy! Expect a menu of dive bar delicacies (WARNING: there are full Deep’n Delicious cakes on the menu), cocktails, mocktails, and more. Whether you're here to flirt, snack, sip, or simply soak up the queer joy, this is the soft landing you need this Pride—no boys allowed! Follow @halihoevents on Instagram for more information and updates! 

This event is FREE if you have attended or have prepaid for any other events during our 2026 Night Spa - Pride Festival! Movie starts at 8pm and there will be an intermission half way through. This party may run later than 11pm. $20 entry without a 2026 Night Spa - Pride Festival voucher. This is an All Members event meaning all people on our Night Spa mailing lists will be invited to attend and bring guests! This is such a fun night, with the movie playing in all of the common areas and in the private rooms (if you chose to rent one for you and others to watch in). Watching, laughing and groaning together throughout the entire building is a real bonding experience. The hot tub, sauna, and play areas are still open but please keep it down as most folks are here to watch the freakin movie! Night Spa is Halifax's only mixed gender, private members, clothing optional Spa. There's a hot tub, sauna, showers, and many shared spaces. Space will be limited for these nights. Members and their guests can rent a locker for this evening but we will not be renting out rooms. So come play some games and have a nice relaxing time socializing with other members of the community. 19+ Night Spa is now in it's 4th year of operations and opened after the previous bathhouse at that same location went out of business. Our new more inclusive and safety focused policies have brought new life and community back into this once loved space. Night Spa is not for everyone, and we're not trying to be, we are a queer focused clothing optional social club. We want people to do well in our space and our application process helps us to know if we would be a good fit for you. Some people can get overwhelmed entering into a new place not knowing the people or certain terms they may be using from the queer and alternative lifestyles communities. As a private, members only venue, only approved Night Spa members and their guests may attend. This is both for safety and legal purposes. Our vetting process is not a formality and generally takes 2-5 days for us to reply. We take this process seriously so let us know who you are and why you wish to become a member. We can not allow walk-ins or approve same day applications so apply now to attend in the future. Visit our website today to see if Night Spa would be right for you.
