About this Event
Annual Queer Joy Pride Party
📍 The Rope Factory – Brantford
🗓 June 20
⏰ 7:00 PM – 1:00 AM
Pride in Brantford just got bigger.
Our event is designed to make other cities jealous of what we have right here. No need to travel for hours in traffic, we are bringing the energy, art and party all to Brantford. We're packing it full of entertainment with 10 local vendors, 7 performers, and 2 silly (& charming?) hosts for Queeraoke at the end of the night.
What to Expect
🛍 Night Market (7–10 PM)
Browse local vendors offering snacks, crafts, art, and queer-made goods.
💋 Super Gay Cabaret
An electrifying lineup of drag, burlesque, dance, and bold self-expression.
🎤 Queeraoke
Our signature karaoke experience where everyone is the headliner.
🪩 Dance Party
Dancing throughout the night between performances and after the cabaret.
The Vibe
Queer Joy events are intentionally welcoming, affirming spaces where you’re encouraged to show up exactly as you are — loud, soft, sparkly, shy, fabulous, supportive ally, questioning, or fully out and proud. No judgment. Just respect and love.
Come solo or with your chosen family. Shop the market. Tip your performers. Sing your heart out. Celebrate Pride in Brantford in a big way!
♿ Accessibility
The event takes place indoors at The Rope Factory. The main event space is wheelchair accessible. Accessible washrooms are available on site.

Spots are limited with only 10 spaces so we may not be able to accept all applicants at this time. We will be prioritizing queer-owned organizations and businesses, but welcoming all ally businesses to apply to. Would like a mix of food, art and merch vendors.
