The Jasper Pride Festival adapted to the COVID-era this year by offering more private versions of activities and streaming LGBTQ+ entertainment virtually.
Presented by TD Bank Group, the festival ran from April 22 to 25.
“All in all, considering the rapidly changing climate that we had the festival put on in, it was definitely a success for us,” said Nick Stadnyk, chair for the Jasper Pride Festival Society.
“In comparison to the one event that we had last year, this year was a lot more fleshed out and it was just a lot more realized.”
The festival officially kicked off with the society’s board and delegates raising the Pride Flag, which spectators watched virtually.
