Halifax Pride Festival

Join QRC for Pride Run: Run Rave as part of the Halifax Pride Festival! Meet us at 9:15 a.m. under the Terra Café sign on Lower Water Street for our regular 5 km waterfront route, transformed into a high-energy run with music, community, and celebration. With support from Halifax Bike Party leading the route and bringing the beats, expect a soundtrack of recession pop, iconic coming-out anthems, and house music to keep you moving from start to finish. Whether you're running, walking, or simply coming for the vibes, this event is all about celebrating Pride with joy, connection, and plenty of energy. Come for the run, stay for the rave, and kick off your Saturday with great people, great music, and an unforgettable Halifax Pride experience!

It’s our 2nd anniversary so let’s make it a fucking blast. Returning from all-funswick we have DJ LOVERBOY!! Free pool, queer music, good vibes only.

The song: Pink Pony Club is a metaphor for a safe space where you feel free to be exactly who you are and we feel this is a perfect way to describe Night Spa. This unique event is aimed at our queer members and welcomes allies too. 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+ We've noticed that the first parties on Saturdays bring out a lot of new members and first times, so we thought we'd lean into that! Every Saturday from 8pm-10pm, we will be hosting meet and greets where regulars and new folks can meet, mingle, and play some fun ice breaker games - and who knows where those new connections will lead later in the night. Spa members and their guests are welcome to attend 3 parties this night starting at 8pm and ending at 3am. These 3 parties overlap so you'll get to meet most everyone whether you come to one or all parties! It's a pricing thing for those whom don't want to pay for the whole night. Come early/leave early, come late/leave late or stay for the whole thing, it's your choice! 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. 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.
