Queer West Fest Toronto 2006 Read More »
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 one Queer West Fest's organizers 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 and change the name to to Queer West Fest.
The 1st annual Queer West Festival & Community Fair June 10, 2006
Gay West Community Network would like to thank everyone who helped to make our The 1st annual Queer West Festival Dance Party and Community Fair a great success.. Queen St West from Roncesvalles Avenue to Spadina in west Toronto, now has at least 30 queer (mixed gay, lesbian and straight gay friendly) bars and after hour nightclubs that we had to compete against. We were told by some of the DJ's and attendees, that we had better than average turn out for this once a year Queer Parties. The attendance numbers ( close to 400) were far greater than we had expected for both the Community Fair and the Dance Party.
