Thank you for taking the time to look over our Partnership Package linked below, and we hope you will consider supporting Windsor-Essex Pride Fest this year through the many opportunities outlined in the package.

Your interest in partnership opportunities with our organization is not only socially progressive, it shows you and your organization support the Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer, Intersex and Asexual (2SLGBTQIA+) community in Windsor-Essex.

Since 1991, Windsor-Essex Pride Fest has grown into one of the region’s most celebrated events — and we are proud and excited to announce that the 2026 edition will be held July 31 to August 9, 2026. From July 31 – August 6, 2026, we will have events at various locations throughout Windsor-Essex and from August 7-9, 2026 we will be at our home in Lanspeary Park on Ottawa Street for the main festival.

Windsor-Essex Pride Fest continues to be a dynamic non-profit organization that facilitates opportunities for connection and belonging through our year-round social programs, workshops and events in Windsor-Essex while contributing to the vibrancy, health and well-being of 2SLGBTQIA+ residents in Windsor-Essex and as a result, strengthening the community overall.

Windsor-Essex Pride Fest has always been more than just a festival. A lack of peer or social support, activities and resources in our community can lead to social isolation that often escalates into a number of problems including homelessness, depression, violence, and often, suicidal ideation. We are dedicated to protecting 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals rights, advocate for diversity, equity and inclusion and raise awareness of ongoing challenges including discrimination, exclusion, harassment, violence, assault and many more

This partnership package provides you with several opportunities to show your support for diversity, equality and inclusion in our community. These opportunities include sponsorship, vendor space, advertising space and donation. 2SLGBTQIA+ consumers are well documented for their loyalty and support of businesses that support them. There are a number of options to choose from so be bold, proactive, and support us today.

We thank you for your consideration of our partnership request and we hope you can support the Windsor-Essex Pride Fest, its social programs, and the 2SLGBTQIA+ community in Windsor-Essex.
