NWT Pride Archive
Welcome to the NWT Pride Archive—your gateway to the history, heart, and highlights of our northern pride celebrations. Since our first festival, we've been documenting the incredible moments, fearless volunteers, and vibrant community that make NWT Pride such a special gathering. Here, you'll find photos, stories, and memories from years past, all preserved to celebrate how far we've come and to inspire what's ahead.

Every year brings new energy, new faces, and new reasons to celebrate. Our archive holds the best of it all—from the parade down the streets of Yellowknife to the community events that bring us together. Scroll through past blog posts to relive the excitement of previous festivals, discover what events and performers graced our stages, and see the joy on the faces of our community members.

Volunteer Stories & Community Spirit
NWT Pride runs on the dedication and heart of our volunteers. The archive is filled with stories of the amazing humans who make our festival safe, welcoming, and absolutely wicked awesome. Read about volunteer coordinators, planning committee reflections, and appreciation posts celebrating the folks who work behind the scenes. These aren't just stories—they're testaments to what's possible when a community shows up for each other. If you've volunteered with us and want to see your story immortalized, we'd love to hear from you.
Photos & Visual Memories
A picture really is worth a thousand words, and our archive is packed with images from festivals past. You'll find snapshots of the parade, candid moments from community gatherings, photos from workshops and skill-shares, and all the glitter, joy, and authenticity that defines NWT Pride. If you have photos or videos from previous years that aren't yet in our archive, we'd genuinely love to add them. Our community's visual history belongs to all of us, and your perspective matters.
Press Coverage & Community Impact
Over the years, NWT Pride has received wonderful coverage from local and regional media. The archive includes press highlights, event announcements, and stories about the real impact we're having—whether that's bridging knowledge gaps through clothing swaps and skill workshops, celebrating northern talent, or simply creating a space where every person feels safe and seen. These pieces tell the broader story of why NWT Pride matters to Yellowknife and the Northwest Territories.
