Join us by 10:00 AM at our marshaling area, Fisgard between Douglas & Blanshard (Group A). We are in position #13 (look for our white truck float covered with Trans+ flags). The parade officially starts at 11:00 AM.

VICTORIA PRIDE FESTIVAL

Following the parade, come visit our table at the Pride Festival in MacDonald Park. Come put your hands on history! Original historical material from the world's largest Transgender Archives will be available for you to pick up and look at.

A BUTTON-SIZED PIECE OF HISTORY

Spencer Robinson, community member and TransChair supporter, designed a unique (and super cute) button to celebrate Victoria Pride 2023 and you can have one as your very own piece of history! Come by our table and pick up your button-sized piece of history, while supplies last!
