The Ottawa Family Pride Festival is a one-day festival in downtown Ottawa celebrating LGBTQ+ Pride. The festival occurs on the second Saturday of June and features vendors, artists, food, live music, celebrity drag queens, crafts, activities, and a parade. This family-friendly event exemplifies love, inclusivity, and diversity.  

Not only is Open Table a financial sponsor, we are highly visible at the festival as a faith community which affirms LGBTQ+ individuals and families. Open Table hosts and provides leadership for the Ottawa Pride Choir and Pride Marching Band. For more information about the choir and band, please send your contact information to music@opentableottawa.org. 

On the evening before the Pride Festival, Open Table sponsors A Night of Remembrance, a community service honoring members of the LGBTQ+ community and allies who have lost their lives to violence, suicide, AIDS, and other causes related to navigating life as marginalized populations. The service includes guest speakers, remembrance displays, and music.
