The 2025 Collingwood Pride Festival!
The 2025 Collingwood Pride Festival was a resounding success, thanks to the overwhelming support of the community, dedicated volunteers, passionate organizers, and generous sponsors.
Collingwood was recently recognized as the happiest place to live in Ontario. Part of what makes Collingwood such a great place to live is that it is a community that embraces inclusivity. The theme of Pride Collingwood 2025 was “Belonging.” We aim to create a celebration of our community, where everyone feels valued, respected and loved for who they are – where all of us can be our authentic selves and love whomever we love.

“What a lovely evening to meet the lovable people of our small town! Town of Collingwood. We are beyond blessed to be part of this community”
“Feeling extra grateful for my community. Last night, I attended a volunteer appreciation event at Side Launch Brewing Company hosted by @RainbowClub to celebrate Pride Collingwood. John Miller—one of the amazing leaders behind the festival —stood up to thank the volunteers and organizers. But it was his heartfelt thanks to our community that moved me most. He thanked Collingwood for always being welcoming—to him and to the 2SLGBTQI+ community. In a time when hate is getting louder, and DEI programs are being canceled (especially across the border), I’m proud to live somewhere that continues to embrace diversity and leads with love. I'm excited to volunteer at Pride this year. It’s my small way of saying— we all belong, and I’ll keep showing up for that. I hope to see you there... I will be wearing a green shirt to raise funds and keep the momentum going for love for all!”
“Collingwood has so much life! Today was Pride and the whole town was celebrating. Amazing food, cute shops and it’s so clean! Highly recommend Downtown Collingwood for a weekend away”
“Such fun a fun Pride fest in Collingwood! This town has transformed into a loving, supportive environment for Queer kids to be themselves. It wasn’t always this way - thank you to everyone who lead the way”
“Our small town pride is honestly so special. @pridecollingwood has worked so hard to create an inclusive, supportive space for folks to come together in whatever way works for them”
“Thank you for a wonderful celebration!! What a great event!! It was beautiful to see all generations being so free”
“There is so much love in this town, I’m truly proud to call this place my home. Happy Pride”
