On Saturday, the Airdrie Pride Society held its annual Solidarity Walk and Pride Festival.
Kiersten Mohr, a board member for the society, explained it was a busy and fun day.
"It was our fifth year, and it was another successful day of events."
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.
"The solidarity walk, once again, was special and I think reinforced what pride is about for many."
During the festival, around 40 different businesses set up booths to partake in the busy day.
"We had entertainment, and we had a lot of folks there through the day that came and wandered through and picked up information."

"Our goal as a society is to give businesses and organizations in the city a chance to be visible and to say, hey, we can support you, and that is a benefit to them, and it's a benefit to the community."
Mohr hopes the event will continue to grow each year.
"It (the event) gives folks just a little bit of hope in a world that sometimes feels a little bit hopeless."
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.
