Peterborough-Nogojiwanong Pride Week Takes Place September 18 to 27

Peterborough, ON – Peterborough-Nogojiwanong Pride Week returns September 18 to 27, 2026, with events, activities and celebrations taking place throughout the community in recognition of the region’s 2SLGBTQIA+ community. 

The City of Peterborough will help mark the beginning of Pride Week with a flag raising ceremony at City Hall, 500 George St. N., on Friday, September 18 at 12:15 p.m. 

“Peterborough-Nogojiwanong Pride Week is an opportunity to celebrate the 2SLGBTQIA+ community,” said Mayor Jeff Leal. “This year’s theme, ‘Woven Together,’ speaks to the connections we share and the importance of supporting one another. Pride Week is also a reminder that discrimination, including homophobia and transphobia, continues to affect people in our community. By working together, we can make Peterborough a place where everyone is treated with respect and acceptance.” 

The annual Peterborough-Nogojiwanong Pride Parade will take place on Saturday, September 26. The parade will begin at approximately 1 p.m., departing from City Hall and travelling down George Street to Millennium Park, 130 King St., where Pride in the Park will continue until 5:30 p.m. 

Events at City facilities include: 

• PTBO-NOGO Pride Special Family Sunday, Art Gallery of Peterborough, 250 Crescent St., Sunday, September 20, 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Celebrate Pride through colour, creativity and community with free, drop-in art-making activities suitable for all ages. No registration is required.
