On Saturday, the Airdrie Pride Society will once again be hosting its annual Solidarity Walk and Pride Festival.
Kiersten Mohr, a board member for the society, explained that the Solidarity Walk will kick off the day.
"It is going to start at City Hall at 10:30 a.m., where we will make our way to Nose Creek Park, and then kick off the festival.
According to the Airdrie Pride website, the walk is to resist those who are trying to silence, diminish and divide those in the 2SLGBTQ+ community.
"This year we've been able to secure some really good entertainers, both local and from the community, with the Robert Adam Band headlining the event."
Once again this year, the festival will also showcase the Airdrie Puppy Pals Dog Fashion Show.
"We have about 40 businesses signed up that have booths and food trucks, it should be an amazing afternoon for anyone and everyone that wants to come out."
Mohr explained that the main goal of these events was to create something where folks could find their community without leaving their community.
"To see the attendance and see the growth, and see the engagement in this every year, and certainly, as Airdrie is growing, is just incredibly heartwarming."
Earlier in the year, the Airdrie Pride Society along with the BGC Airdrie Club held their annual Queer Prom. Mohr shared that it was another great event, and that they can't wait to have it again next year.
