Pride is coming home to Davie Village this August, and it’s going to be unforgettable.
The full lineup for the 2025 Davie Village Pride Festival has officially dropped, with major backing from Concord and TD, two long-time champions of Vancouver’s 2SLGBTQIA+ community.
On Sunday, August 3, Davie Street (between Burrard and Jervis) and Nelson Park will transform into a buzzing hub of music, drag, dancing, art, and connection. The one-day street party is the grand finale of the 47th Vancouver Pride Festival, and organizers are going all out.
The TD Main Stage: A Drag Powerhouse
Right in the heart of Davie Village, the TD Main Stage will serve up a full day of high-energy performances hosted by local icons Kendall Gender and Genesis.
The lineup is absolutely stacked, it includes:
- Brooke Lynn Hytes (host of Canada’s Drag Race)
- Jimbo (RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 8 winner)
- Venus, Jaylene Tyme, Juice Boxx, Makayla Couture, Nearah Nuff, and many more
- DJ sets from DomTop, Leo Soares, and Softieshan
Expect feathers, sequins, jaw-dropping looks, and unapologetic queer celebration from 2:00 to 10:00 p.m.
Concord Pacific Community Stage: Pride with Purpose
A short walk away, the Concord Pacific Community Stage at Nelson Park offers something different: space to breathe, reflect, and celebrate local queer voices. Hosted by Savannah Erasmus, this stage is all about uplifting community talent.
Live music kicks off at 2:00 p.m. with:
- Hyenas
- houseguest
- Hot Dyke Party
- Leo D.E. Johnson
- Headliner: Kimmortal at 8:15 p.m.
There’s also a full-on interactive arts zone with button making, ribbon crafting, and community booths highlighting local queer artisans. Plus, the entire Nelson Park zone will be ASL interpreted from 2:00 to 9:00 p.m., making this a space where accessibility and inclusion are front and centre.
Celebrities Stage: Big Beats, Bigger Energy
At the intersection of Davie and Burrard, the Celebrities Stage brings the nightclub vibe outdoors. Curated by the legendary Celebrities Nightclub, this stage is packed with non-stop beats, drag, and dancers all day long.
From DJs like etOH, Sam Steele, Diego Valente, and a surprise Tommy Drag moment at 9 p.m., this is where the party people will be vibing from open to close.
None of this would be possible without the leadership of community partners and sponsors. Concord and TD have stepped up in major ways.
“We’re proud to support the return of Pride celebrations to Davie Village following the Pride Parade, which starts from Concord Pacific Place on the waterfront and concludes nearby at Burrard and Pacific,” said David Ju, Vice-President at Concord.
“Pride is more than a celebration, it’s a powerful affirmation of inclusion, unity, and progress. Standing with the 2SLGBTQIA+ community is both our privilege and our promise.”
This year’s Pride Festival also marks 20 years of marriage equality in Canada, making it a poignant moment to look back and look ahead. With organizations like Concord, TD, the West End BIA, Vancouver Pride Society, and QMUNITY working together, the 2025 Davie Village Pride Festival is reclaiming space, joy, and visibility in the heart of the West End.
