Local Restaurant Group hosts Pride Week Events and Activations

Concorde Entertainment Group is thrilled to announce its many collaborations, events and activations for Pride Week 2024! From August 29 – September 1, 2024, several Concorde Group venues will be serving up a special cocktail with $1 from each drink being donated to Skipping Stone Foundation.

The aptly named cocktail, Project Pride, is a nod to one of Calgary’s first gay and lesbian alliance organizations which helped to produce the first Calgary Pride Festival in 1988. Project Pride will be available at Barbarella Bar, Bridgette Bar Calgary and Canmore, Lulu Bar, Lonely Mouth, Pigeonhole, Model Milk, Major Tom, Surfy Surfy, Ricardo’s Hideaway and Sweet Loretta.

Concorde Group will also participate in the Calgary Pride Parade on Sunday, September 1, 2024, with a float presented in partnership with WERK. The float will feature performances by Tynomi Banks of Canada’s Drag Race and International DJ Josh Harrison of London, UK. Both Concorde Group and WERK invite all Calgarians to visit the parade to show support for the 2SLGBTQ+ community.
