Best Western Plus, Chocolate Lake Hotel @ 250 St Margarets Bay Rd, Halifax NS
GET TICKETS HERE
We'll be taking over a ballroom on the 3rd floor of the Best Western Plus, Chocolate Lake Hotel Halifax (250 St Margarets Bay Rd, Halifax NS) for our 139th event to date! Grab your friends and come join us on Saturday July 18th, 2026 from 9pm-1am we'll be having our 13th annual Kinky Colours event. This party will be a part of the 2026 Halifax Pride Festival and it is always one of the BIGGEST and CRAZIEST Nightshade events and this year it will be happening the same day as the Pride Parade so you're not going to want to miss this! So be sure to wear sexy neons or whites to react to the ultra violet lights! We've got waaay too many black lights and plan to flood every inch of the ballroom at the Chocolate Lake Hotel with glowing fun! When you're digging through the closet or out shopping for that perfect outfit but you're not sure what will glow and what won't, there are free Ultra Violet apps you can download for your mobile device! Now although there is no dress code, it is strongly suggested that you dress in theme or some type of alternative wear is suggested. If you don't know what to wear then black clothing is strongly suggested but again try to dress in something you would consider sexy and edgy. Dress sexy and cool, cause it does get hot and sweaty in there. Due to the nature of the venue, public decency rules do apply. Drink pricing can be found in the event details on our website. Cash only bar. The hotel has an ATM in the lobby but we have emptied it at every Nightshade event so come prepared! Please drink responsibly. Each year our Pride parties have Sold Out weeks before each event so buy early or risk missing out! Tickets are available for only $25+tax and purchases can be made online through our website: https://NightshadeHalifax.com Coat check service will be $3 for the night which includes in and out privileges for one hanger of clothes and/or one bag. There will be a self-coat check area but this will be not be monitored and is at use at your own risk. We will be adhering to all government regulations at our Nightshade events. In addition extra cleaning procedures will be put into place for both the venue and for our own equipment. Hand sanitizer stations will be readily available as well of course there is plenty soap and water in the washrooms. Valid government identification (19+) is required to gain entry. If you are sick please stay home! We have done away with our regular 'no refunds' policy and replaced it with a full credit of your ticket price. If you inform us that you will not be in attendance prior to us opening the doors at 9pm than we will issue you a full credit for one of our future events. Please check with the hotel for their cancellation policies. If for any reason we are forced to reduce capacity or cancel this event, causing you to not be able to attend then you will be issued a full credit of your ticket price for one of our future events. You may also purchase optional Cancellation Insurance for $1 per ticket which would see the full price of your ticket ($25 ticket or $28 ticket price w/coatcheck) refunded to you if you can not attend the event for any reason, so long as you contact us about the cancellation prior to the start of the event. The Nightshade dance floor will be a flood of bodies as our new DJ, Gyrrrl on Decks, is stepping up and taking over the Nightshade sound system! “In the beginning, at the end of nowhere in the South-West corner of NS, about 24 years ago, Gyrrrl on Decks fell in love with curating music and making the dance floor vibe. When the night shines like day, and the wide starry eyed come out from under the darkness and into the light to play, this multi-genre hot mess spins your requests to impress all the while feeling so #blessed." Nightshade will be actively on the search for local DJ talent to perform at our events. So please reach out with suggestions of amazing Halifax DJs you would love to see on stage at our kinky costume parties! We will have a body painting station setup where guests can paint each other or make use of our talented body paint artist Kai, who will be available to pain you for a negotiated donation. There will be some hardcore equipment brought in for those who know how to use it. For everyone's safety it will be well lit and monitored throughout the night by our DMs. This is a no camera event with the exception of event photographers, please message to apply to shoot for the event. Hotel rooms for the Nightshade Kinky Colours, event are at a special rate of $229 but only until the cut of date Thursday June 19th, 2025. To reserve a room in our block you must call and say you are with the group rate Pride. There is a chance to still book in our block after this date as well so make the call and see if they can squeeze your late ass into our group of rooms! Booking with our Block is ideal as your room will be surround by other people attending the party. It will thus be easier to connect with others and you will receive fewer noise complaints than if you were to book a room elsewhere in the hotel. Nightshade does not profit from room rental, so if you can find a better deal do what is best for you. Note that complaints against you, noise or otherwise, may lead to you being banned from future events as Nightshade wants to keep in good standing with the hotel. Hotel reservations can be made by calling central reservations (800) 528-1234 or the hotel directly (902) 477-5611 ext 0 For more details about booking hotel rooms for this event visit this link: https://nightshadehalifax.com/HotelRoomRentals.html Nightshade makes no commissions and profits in no way from room rentals. Here are some other up coming themes but keep in mind that dates, themes and the venue may change but this is what we have planned: • Kinky Halloween & Dead Sexy Costume Party - Saturday October 31st, 2026 (DJ Mike G) • Kinky NYE 2K27 - Thursday December 31st, 2026 (DJ Gyrrrrl on Decks) Be sure to stop and say hello that night to myself (Chris Awesome), our staff, performers, photographers & volunteers.

Do you wanna try DJing in the wild? You’re in luck—we are hosting a FREE ALL AGES version of their WIDE OPEN DECKS! Either bring a USB with music files on it, a laptop with Serato installed or just bring yourself to this accessible, inclusive, low-pressure learning environment. Your cheerleaders and loved ones are super welcome too. The Halifax Curling Club will have its lounge canteen open for business! This is a dry and sober-encouraged space. However, come as you are. We host hands-on heartfelt events where our loving-kindness comes from a harm reductionist, intersectional awareness-focused, and trauma-informed place. Inclusive Environments and Celebrating Differences are the standard. We believe that disabled people, queer people, gender-diverse people, women, girls, marginalized-underrepresented people and anyone who is in the Global Majority deserve to bravely reclaim music and dancing-focused spaces of joy and community because if you want to be here—know that you belong here.

Parade: Queer Acts of Love and Resistance presented by the Nova Scotia Office of Equity and Anti‑Racism and Halifax Pride, in collaboration with the Canadian Museum of Immigration.

We are excited to present a screening of the National Film Board documentary Parade: Queer Acts of Love & Resistance.

Parade: Queer Acts of Love & Resistance captures pivotal moments that sparked Canada’s 2SLGBTQIA+ movement, honouring the activists and elders whose resistance led to the rights we have today.

Through rarely seen archival footage and first-person accounts, audiences are brought to the frontlines of the struggle. From police raids to early drag shows, community organizing to the House of Commons - the complex history of our country’s diverse communities is brought to life. Key milestones illustrate the power of taking it into the streets and underscore how easily the rights we’ve fought for can be revoked.

This free screening is being presented by the Nova Scotia Office of Equity and Anti‑Racism and Halifax Pride, in collaboration with the Canadian Museum of Immigration.

Date and Time: July 21, 7pm
Please note that limited seating is available, so advanced registration is required. https://forms.gle/KxjVrwz34SKiqUfQ9

Lunch & Learn Panel: Thriving, Not Just Surviving: 2SLGBTQIA+ Mental Health, Joy, and Community Care
Thursday July 23, 2026 12:00pm - 1:00pm ADT
The Bus Stop Theatre @ 2203 Gottingen St, Halifax, NS
2SLGBTQIA+ communities face disproportionately high rates of anxiety, depression, suicidality, and barriers to affirming mental health care due to discrimination, stigma, and systemic inequities. At the same time, queer and trans communities have cultivated powerful traditions of resilience, creativity, and collective healing. Thriving, Not Just Surviving is a panel conversation that brings these realities together—examining the ongoing challenges while centering the joy, connection, and cultural knowledge that sustain 2SLGBTQIA+ wellbeing.
Grounded in lived experience, community expertise, and mental health practice, this panel explores what thriving looks like for queer and trans people beyond survival. Through discussion of joy as a mental health practice, trauma and healing, chosen family, cultural expression, and sustainable activism, panelists will highlight both the systemic forces impacting mental health and the community-led strategies that foster belonging, resilience, and care. The session reframes mental health as a shared responsibility rooted in solidarity and collective flourishing rather than an individual burden.
This conversation aligns with Halifax Pride’s commitment to education, equity, and celebrating the depth and diversity of 2SLGBTQIA+ life. It invites participants into a strengths-based, culturally informed dialogue that honours both the realities and the brilliance of queer and trans communities.

Most popular car brands are coming out with their own electric vehicle models, but we often only hear press about a select few. If you are curious about EVs, but unsure where to go to discuss your choices, CAA Atlantic and Next Ride are partnering to provide a safe and welcoming environment for members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community to ask questions and learn about the full range of e-mobility options available from automotive brands who aren't afraid to demonstrate their support and affirmation of queer folk.

Gays on the Clocktower: A Blood on the Clocktower Special for Pride!

The Board Room Game Cafe @ 1256 Barrington Street
GET TICKETS HERE
Blood on the Clocktower is a bluffing game enjoyed by players on opposing teams of Good and Evil, now with a custom script for Pride! "In the quiet village of Ravenswood Bluff, ‌a demon walks amongst you..." Join Andrey as Storyteller for this spooky mystery game! NEW! This session features a custom script to celebrate Pride! Beginners always welcome but this will be a more advanced script! During a hellish thunderstorm, on the stroke of midnight, there echoes a bone-chilling scream. The townsfolk rush to investigate and find the town storyteller murdered, their body impaled on the hands of the clocktower, blood dripping onto the cobblestones below. A Demon is on the loose, murdering by night and disguised in human form by day. Some have scraps of information. Others have abilities that fight the evil or protect the innocent. But the Demon and its evil minions are spreading lies to confuse and breed suspicion. Will the good townsfolk put the puzzle together in time to execute the true demon and save themselves? Or will evil overrun this once peaceful village? Blood on the Clocktower is a bluffing game enjoyed by 5 to 15 players on opposing teams of Good and Evil, overseen by a Storyteller player who conducts the action and makes crucial decisions. The goal of the game is to successfully deduce and execute the demons before they outnumber the townsfolk. During a 'day' phase players socialize openly and whisper privately to trade knowledge or spread lies, culminating in a player's execution if a majority suspects them of being Evil. At 'night' time, players close their eyes and are woken one at a time by the Storyteller to gather information, spread mischief, or kill. Admission is $10 each (+tax and Eventbrite fees), granting everyone access to both the event, and our collection of 600+ board games before and after the event (provided there is space)! Event is ALL AGES, but please note that any guests under 14 must be accompanied by a chaperone. REFUNDS AND CANCELLATIONS Seating is limited so please let us know if you can no longer make it!

Lunch & Learn Panel: Honouring 2SLGBTQ+ Histories to Imagine 2SLGBTQ+ Futures
Friday July 24, 2026 12:00pm - 1:00pm ADT
The Bus Stop Theatre @ 2203 Gottingen St, Halifax, NS
This community-academic panel invites an honest and intergenerational conversation about growing older within 2SLGBTQ+ communities, centring the voices and lived experiences of older adults. We will begin by introducing findings from our study on 2SLGBTQ+ aging in Nova Scotia, which includes interviews with more than 30 2SLGBTQ+ older adults from across the province, highlighting key historical events that have shaped the participants aging experiences, alongside their hopes for the future. Panel members will expand upon the findings, reflecting on how historic and contemporary events shape well-being in later life. We will then turn to strategies to strengthen health, social, and community systems for 2SLGBTQ+ older adults. The panel will conclude with an interactive, intergenerational art activity inviting audience members to reflect on the theme, “Honouring 2SLGBTQ+ Histories to Imagine 2SLGBTQ+ Futures.”

The conversation on growing older in 2SLGBTQ+ communities is particularly salient in the context of Nova Scotia’s rapidly aging population and systemic erasure of 2SLGBTQ+ history. As we live longer, it becomes increasingly important to learn how to promote equity in aging experiences and lifelong joy and resilience within the 2SLGBTQ+ community. Knowledge sharing and the re-telling of lived experience is a vital step in this process toward well-being later in life. Our current cohort of 2SLGBTQ+ older adults are the first to ‘age out’, or be able to age as their authentic selves, yet there is still a lack of opportunity for intergenerational connection within our communities. Our goal with this panel is create a dialogue about 2SLGBTQ+ aging and to encourage 2SLGBTQ+ people in Nova Scotia to think about our how our history impacts our aging futures.

As the mastermind behind BODIES/BODIES/BODIES and the resident curator for TRANSlation at Steamworks, he is guaranteed to bring an unforgettable dancefloor experience.

He’ll be backed by a big ol' lineup of local cuties ready to throw it down.
