The 1st annual Queer West Festival & Community Fair June 10, 2006
At 10PM the doors reopened and the Dance Party began till 3 AM. The “DJ an Hour” open format went over well with the few hundred people who attended. Music ranged from rock and roll to hip hop and electro-house. The most significant point of the evening was seeing everyone have a great time, male and female, gay and straight, queer seniors to young gay and lesbian adults. There were no boundaries or definitions, just a fun party atmosphere.
Location: Private Skylight Lounge upstairs at The Rhino Bar & Grille, 1249 Queen Street W, (416-535-8089) Saturday June 10, 2006 -

Queer West Fest Toronto 2006
Queer West Committee is a non-profit, volunteer based organization, not associated with Pride Toronto Organization. 15 years ago, there was not much happening in Toronto's Queer West Village. "Things were flat for several years. But now we are getting bigger and better organized " .said Queer West Fest Innovator Bryen Dunn" Unlike Pride Toronto, which is a huge stage-managed national tourist attraction. Queer West Fest Toronto is a series of small queer neighbourhood events, inclusive, democratic, outrageous - and positively revolutionary. What no Pride parade? The Committee thinks a variety of queer parties throughout the village and a Marketplace Fair is more in tune with our community needs. Queer West Fest in 2006 was called Parkdale Pride, but the committee thought the name was to limiting to one city neighbourhood.
