Edmonton Pride
Edmonton Pride is an LGBT pride festival, held annually in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.〔("Edmonton Pride Festival draws crowds" ). CBC News, June 8, 2013.〕 The event is organized by the Edmonton Pride Festival Society, a non-profit organization, and is currently held in early June each year.
Unlike many pride parades which are held at the end of their associated festival week, Edmonton Pride hosts its parade near the opening of the event,〔("Pride Week kicks off Saturday with popular downtown parade" ). ''Edmonton Journal'', June 7, 2013.〕 and the festival instead closes with a public brunch event. As well, the Edmonton Pride Festival Society frequently chooses to designate community groups, rather than individuals, as the grand marshals of its parade; in 2012, the parade was led by the trustees of the Edmonton Public School Board,〔("Trustees to lead Pride Parade" ). ''Edmonton Journal'', May 25, 2012.〕 and in 2013 the event was led by the Pride Centre of Edmonton, the city's main LGBT community centre.
==History==

The event has its roots in the protest movement against a police raid on the Pisces Spa, a gay bathhouse, on May 30, 1981.〔("Looking back, moving forward" ). ''Vue Weekly'', June 10, 2009.〕 However, unlike Pride Week in Toronto, which also had its roots in police protests against Operation Soap, the parade did not become a regular feature of the event until the early 1990s.〔("Edmonton's invisible gay history" ). ''Edmonton Journal'', June 17, 2012.〕
The 2013 festival was opened with the raising of the rainbow flag at CFB Edmonton on June 7, the first time in Canadian history that the flag was flown at a military base.〔("CFB Edmonton 1st base to raise gay-pride flag" ). CBC News, June 7, 2013.〕 The parade on June 8 followed 102 Avenue between 107 Street and Churchill Square.〔("Pride Parade draws thousands of kids and families to Churchill Square" ). ''Edmonton Journal'', June 9, 2013.〕 An estimated 30,000 spectators turned out for the event.〔 Performers at the parade event included singer-songwriters Rae Spoon, Jeffery Straker and Kim Kuzma.〔
