Kendall Gender’s Top 5 Must-Do Pride Weekend Activities
As Vancouver gears up for a vibrant Pride weekend, we’re taking our cues from none other than Kendall Gender—drag superstar, activist, and host of the city’s iconic Pride Parade. Kendall has shared her top picks to make the most of this year’s celebrations, and we couldn’t agree more. From dancing under the sun to soaking in the parade’s joyful energy, here’s how to experience Pride weekend through Kendall’s eyes.
1. Pop Queen Cardio – Vancouver Art Gallery
Start your Pride weekend by moving your body for a cause. Pop Queen Cardio is part outdoor dance class, part drag show, and entirely fabulous. With proceeds supporting QMUNITY, this event combines upbeat choreography, glittering performances, and community love—all in front of the Vancouver Art Gallery.
2. The TFD Show – Friday Night at Celebrities
Friday night belongs to the queens! The TFD Show at Celebrities features a dazzling lineup of legends and Drag Race stars ready to set the stage ablaze. Expect high-energy performances, jaw-dropping looks, and an unforgettable night of unapologetic celebration.
3. The Pride Parade – Sunday
Kendall calls this her “favourite part of the whole weekend,” and for good reason. The Vancouver Pride Parade is a spectacular showcase of diversity, unity, and love—and Kendall herself will be hosting! Whether you’re there to cheer from the sidelines or march with friends, this is the heartbeat of Pride weekend.
4. Untoxicated – David Lam Park
Looking for a vibrant, welcoming space without the alcohol-fuelled party scene? Untoxicated is the place to be. Hosted at David Lam Park, this all-sober Pride main stage delivers incredible entertainment, community vibes, and a refreshing take on celebration.
5. Birdhouse Events on W 4th
If you’re in the mood to explore beyond the West End, Kendall recommends heading to The Birdhouse. With W 4th Avenue shut down and a full lineup of events, it’s a great chance to connect with Pride celebrations in a fresh, lively setting.
From glittering stages to heartfelt community moments, Kendall Gender’s picks offer the perfect blend of fun, inclusivity, and meaning. No matter how you celebrate, Pride weekend in Vancouver promises to be nothing short of magical.
