Pride Toronto is excited to unveil We Won’t Stop as the official Pride Toronto 2026 Festival theme. This year’s theme is a powerful follow-up to last year’s theme, All In. While All In celebrated the strength, unity, and collective spirit of our community, honouring generations of triumphs and the connections that make us whole, We Won’t Stop takes that momentum further. It reminds us that the fight for freedom, inclusion, and recognition is ongoing, and that every action, story, and voice is essential in continuing the progress we’ve made together.

What We Won’t Stop Means

  • We Won’t Stop celebrating our vibrant diversity, honouring our history, and creating spaces where every identity and expression in our 2SLGBTQI+ communities feels seen, valued, and celebrated.
  • We Won’t Stop remembering that the rights and visibility we enjoy today were hard-won. We honour the trailblazers who came before us by continuing their work with courage and conviction.
  • We Won’t Stop pushing forward for freedom, inclusion, recognition, and justice. Together, we build momentum that carries our community into the future.

This theme is a rallying cry, a reminder that pride, resistance, joy, and solidarity remain powerful forces for change.

“We Won’t Stop is both a promise and a call to action,” said Kojo Modeste, Executive Director of Pride Toronto. “It reflects our collective determination to keep showing up for one another, to protect the progress we’ve made, and to continue demanding a world where 2SLGBTQI+ communities can live freely, safely, and authentically.”

In 2025, more than 2.4 million people came together for the world’s second-largest Pride celebration. In 2026, Toronto will once again burst with culture, creativity, and community to honour the past, celebrate the present, and keep moving forward because together, We Won’t Stop.

Mark your calendars for Pride weekend, June 25 – 28, 2026, and get ready to be loud and lovely!
