United in adversity, united in pride
Since 2013, Fière la fête has been an educational, festive, family-friendly, and inclusive event. A unique opportunity to celebrate diversity in the Eastern Townships!
The 2025 edition of Fière la fête takes place from September 8 to 14 under the theme "United in adversity, united in pride." Because no matter the adversity our communities face, it is together that we will fight to remain proud," says Roxanne Paquin-Saikali, President of Fierté Sherbrooke Pride.
While Fière la fête is primarily conceived and created by and for LGBTQ+ communities, it is also an event in which allies can participate to expand their knowledge of the realities experienced by our communities or simply to take part in the celebrations.
Because, after all, everyone should take part in the celebration!
From September 8th to 11th, the program features a series of diverse cultural, community, political, and social activities aimed at the diverse members of the LGBTQ+ community.
For the final weekend, we promise action, including FIERCE NIGHTS.
