Pride Fest’25 SCHEDULE

LACUNA Presents: Sad but Hot
A night for the dolls—come cry, sweat, and dance it out with a lineup of East Coast baddies bringing riffs, vibes, and beats that hit deep. Featuring PEI’s own Dazey, a post-emo trio delivering fast-paced, nostalgia-laced sad bangers; siddhu sneh, a genre-fusing producer, composer, and community worker blending Eastern and Western sounds with unique electronic textures; and Halifax’s Katie Wayne, a queer/trans avant-garde electro-pop force exploring the edges of modular synthesis.
It’s gonna be emotional. It’s gonna be hot. Don’t miss it.
$10 at the door or PWYC

Sacred & Fierce w/ Native Council of PEI
Sacred & Fierce is a heart-led gathering that celebrates the voices and artistry of Two-Spirit and Trans communities. Hosted by NCPEI and PEI Trans Network, this community-focused event features an array of performances by 2S and Trans drag artists, comedians, poets, and storytellers.
This is not your typical show, it’s an open, affirming space where 2SLGBTQIA+ folks and allies are invited to come together in community, share experiences, and connect through creativity and culture.
Alongside the main performances, there will be breakout spaces for art-making, conversation, reflection, and informal community sharing.
All are welcome, come as you are, and take part in a night of expression, connection, and celebration.

Proud Mugs Pottery Workshop
Join us to paint a ceramic travel cup with Julia (she/her/queer) of TATA Ceramics Charlottetown. In this pottery workshop for queers and allies of all ages, you will learn how to glaze a cup that Julia has thrown on the potter‘s wheel for you. Using a large variety of ceramic glaze colors you can get creative and design your very own proud mug to celebrate and remember Pride. With all tools provided Julia will explain the process and help you accomplish your ideas.
No previous knowledge is required. Let’s have fun in a relaxed environment at the Mezzanine level at Founder’s Hall, which will be reserved for us. Tickets can be purchased on a sliding scale basis, including pay it forward ticket options! Should you be facing financial barriers that don’t allow you to purchase a ticket please contact info@pridepei.ca to claim one of our PAY IT FORWARD tickets for this event.
After the workshop Julia will fire your new favorite mug within 1-2 weeks in a pottery kiln to make it food safe, dishwasher- and microwave friendly. The pieces will then be ready for pickup in Charlottetown or can be shipped within Canada for a small fee.
