Meet us next to Agi Hall (left of the Market when you’re facing the hall from the street), and let’s strut our way to Nova Art Gallery together!
Bring your domestic pets (on leash!), your chosen family, your soft selves, your loud selves, all of it is welcome! Whether you’re serving full fantasy or just showing up in Gabriola fancy, you will be welcome.
Let’s celebrate our lil companions in all their queer glory, outfits encouraged, tails wagging. Don’t forget your poop bags.
Dress up, make signs, fly your flags, and then just follow the leader.
