Start YOUR pride celebrations with U of T surrounded by friends and colleagues in the beautiful outdoor Hart House Quad at the U of T Pride Pub. Join the party early for an outdoor event with food and drinks, a Community Fair with local 2SLGBTQ+ organizations, a photobooth from our friends at Alumni Relations, and kid-friendly activities (face-painting, games, photo booths with dress-up). And wait until the stars come out to dance the night away with our fabulous DJs. 

This event is open to U of T students, staff, faculty, librarians, alumni, friends, families, and community members – everyone is welcome to attend! 

Air Quality Update (June 8, 2023):

We are excited to host Pride Pub on Friday, June 9! We are committed to bringing our community the best and safest possible event.

With this, we are mindful of and strategizing around the current air quality issues facing the Toronto area and beyond. Please know that we are currently planning for both indoor and outdoor spaces to be open and available at Hart House.

With the transient nature of the weather conditions, please visit https://uoft.me/pridepub2023 for any changes to Pride Pub.

We recognize air quality is a concern for many people. We also know how much our community sees Pride Pub as an important space to celebrate Pride and members of the 2SLGBTQ+ communities across the three campuses. We ask, therefore, that everyone consider their own health needs, and if able, please join us either indoors or outdoors, and bring a mask if you wish. Additionally, it will get cool Friday evening, so dress your best, with warmer options.

We are very excited to announce the performers for the Pride Pub event:

• Toronto’s “Latin sensation” drag artist Miss Shay Dee
• Queer South Asian Dance Group bringing “Bollywood Reimagined” Naach For Fun
• Local DJ DJ Shannyn Hill (8pm-10pm)
