The Brockville Pride Parade returns to Reynolds Park this Saturday, June 6, 2026, with St. Lawrence College (SLC) sponsoring the event as part of its belonging, equity, diversity, and inclusion programming. Staging begins at 11:30 a.m. and the parade starts at noon, winding from Reynolds Park beside the Brockville Rowing Club at 1 Ferry Street, north on Bethune Street to King Street, and then west along King Street to Hardy Park where a vendor fair and family activities will follow.
The parade is the highlight of Brockville Pride Week, which officially started Monday with a flag-raising behind City Hall. Brockville Pride chairperson Nicole Croteau said the ceremony went well and was attended by Mayor Matt Wren and community members. “It went really well,” Croteau said. “Mayor Matt Wren was there, some local community members were also there to see the flag go up.”
SLC is encouraging its community to register and join the parade, with participants receiving a college Pride shirt. The college has made belonging a core value and supports programming through its Pride Committee, led by its Director of Belonging, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, Carmen Law. The event is open to everyone wanting to show support for the local 2SLGBTQ+ community.
The parade has grown steadily in recent years, with around 30 groups participating in 2025. Organizers say the in-person support has been overwhelmingly positive, with a growing number of vendors and activities at Hardy Park afterward. The event relies on Brockville Pride, a volunteer-run organization, to bring the celebration to life.
