A fun free-spirited tradition that has been held locally for over a decade (and globally for even longer!), where attendees are welcome to strip down and shed their shame as they take to the city streets in celebration of our natural world and the beauty of all bodies! You can Ride or March, whether with your bike, wheelchair, scooter, or your own two feet; whatever gets your body moving! Come join in or show your support by cheering us on! In a time when so many bodies are policed or made the subject of political rhetoric and autonomy taken away, one of the many positive messages we want to promote is that nudity should not be viewed as inherently sexual, but rather should be accepted as a beautiful part of life and a symbol of freedom. Our goal is to have 100 attendees this year! So spread the word and get excited! And if you're interested in helping out, we can always use more volunteers!

As the 2026 Halifax Pride Festival comes to a close, we invite the cis-men, as well as the trans and non-binary folk, out for an afternoon of play and relaxation. Join us as Night Spa wraps up its festival events with one last afternoon of delight. 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. Masc, short for Masculine is Night Spa’s special night for Men & Thems. Think of it as a more conventional bathhouse experience. Consent focused social nights, filled with flirting, fun & some hardcore play! We recognize that in the past this venue was traditionally for gay men only and this night is a focus on returning some of that space that was taken from that community. While not just for cis-men this night will be focused on those looking for masculine on masculine connections. 2199 Gottingen St has been a queer bathhouse since 2003. It has gone under a few different names in the past, Seadogs, Torpedo, Seadogs (again) but is now Night Spa. This is still a queer bathhouse but now we strive to be more inclusive. Our mixed gender events are open to everyone regardless of their gender, sexuality or however they may identify but some of our events, such as Masc, are focused on specific types of connections and thus limit who may attend. Visit our website today to see if Night Spa would be right for you.

Come meet your new best friend/creative collaborator/co-conspirator/soulmate/lover/unrequited crush at the Mask4Mask Pride Social! 🌈 This event is to help build connections and community between people who continue to mask in public spaces, and take steps to prevent the spread of COVID. We’ll have some light facilitation & conversational prompts throughout the night to keep things flowing, with lots of room for fostering organic connections. For this event: please mask with an KN95 mask or better (free masks available at the event), rapid test the day of the event if possible, and stay home if feeling sick.

Your favorite all trans drag & burlesque showcase is back for another year!

Funded in part by @halifaxpride ❤️ Sunday July 26 Bus Stop Theatre Co-Op Doors at 6:30 Show at 7:00
