East Side Pride, by Vancouver Pride Society, is the 1st of LET’S’ Pride season and the kickoff to the Vancouver Pride season. This event is a nice way to enter Pride season. Held at Grandview Park, off Commercial Drive, it is a smaller Pride filled with amazing concerts, drag performances, delicious food from a great selection of food trucks, and over 45 artisan and community groups.

We had beautiful weather for the event. We were excited by how many people, who took sensory items from our booth last year, returned to say hi and pick up new sensory items. Our low sensory space was filled with people all day. It was a great start to the Pride season.

low sensory space. Looks inviting, doesn’t it?)
