Pride Winnipeg 2026 Artist Application
Thank you for your interest in performing on the Pride Winnipeg Festival 2026! Live performances will be taking place on three stages at The Forks on June 6 and June 7th, 2026.  

We are seeking musicians, drag performers, comedians, dance groups, theatre companies, magicians, spoken word, stage hosts, and so many more from the performance community (and beyond!) to be a part of this year's festivities. We want to showcase your talents on our Main Stage, Mamawi Stage and Children's Stage.

We live in an eclectic and diverse city and it's imperative that our festival reflects that, so we strongly encourage performers from all backgrounds and communities apply. If you've got a talent, bring it to our stages!
