ElderPride will have a float in the Fredericton Pride Parade again this year and we would love to have you join us!

Time: 11:30 am to decorate, 12:45 to join the float/walking group
Where: Parking lot behind Fredericton City Hall

You are welcome to walk or roll with us on/alongside our float. We will be meeting at the marshalling grounds (parking lot behind City Hall). Look for a uhaul van and trailer with lavender decorations!

If you want to help us decorate our float, please arrive between 11:30 am and 12:00pm. If you just want to join us for the parade, please come by 12:45 pm. The parade is scheduled to begin at 1:20 pm.

No RSVP is required. We have put in a request to book ASL and will update the event as soon as we can confirm interpretation. We will have chairs available for use on the float for increased accessibility. The float trailer has a built-in ramp, so there is no need to climb up onto the trailer.

Stay tuned for more details!

Join ElderPride for our July BBQ and social on Killarney Lake beach (with an optional evening swim)! This is an event for 2SLGBTQI+ adults and seniors.

We will have both meat and vegan hot dogs (cooked separately), chips, veggies, cold drinks, and dessert. Please notify us in advance of any food allergies or dietary requirements (at least 48 hours notice)

There will be ASL interpretation.

This event is WEATHER DEPENDENT. If it is safest to reschedule, we will post in the event a minimum of 2 hours before it is scheduled to start (likely earlier) and will add this cancellation to our online calendar. Please check the event before heading to Killarney!
