Kamloops Pride

What to Expect at the Pride Parade 2026! The Pride Parade is almost here, and here is everything you need to know for Sunday, June 14th!

Safety - St John Ambulance and Kamloops Pride volunteers will be on site to ensure things are running smoothly and assist anyone who needs it. Kamloops Pride will be stationed at St Paul St and 3rd Ave in a tent from 9-10:30am.

RCMP Presence - In the interest of transparency and preparedness, this is a summary of what the RCMP has told Kamloops Pride Society regarding their presence at Kamloops Pride events 2026. Kamloops Pride has requested that the RCMP NOT be present at any Kamloops Pride events. However, they have made us aware that they will be present in the following ways:
PRIDE PARADE: A mobile RCMP presence, at a short distance but separate from the parade. The RCMP will be present downtown near to, but separate from, the Pride Parade on Victoria St. and/or surrounding intersections in marked police vehicles.

Accessibility Hangout Zone - We will have a marked area on the sidewalk and street on 2nd Ave between St Paul and Seymour Street acting as a more accessible place to view the parade. This is a trial run for this year, so check it out and be kind! We will have masks, earplugs, water bottles, sour candy, hopefully shade, and volunteers to help. If you need a wheelchair accessible place to watch and a less crowded area please join us! Please bring your own chair if you need one.

Marching in the Parade - All community members are invited to join the Pride Community marching group at the start of the parade. Pedal bikes, mobility aids, scooters, and such are welcome, but no motorized vehicles. Please join us at St Paul Street and 2nd Ave before 10:30am to march!

Parking - Do not park along the parade route or staging area to avoid being towed. This includes all of Victoria Street from 2nd to 6th Ave, 2nd Ave from Victoria St to St Paul St, St Paul and Battle between 2nd and 3rd Ave, and the west side of 3rd Ave from St Paul to Nicola.

Washrooms - There will be an accessible porta potty for parade participants on St Paul Street between 2nd and 3rd Avenue.
