Entertainment

Thank you for applying to be an entertainer at 2025 WSP Pride.

Please read all the information below before beginning your application to make the process easier.

The festival will be held on Saturday, July 12, 2025. 

If you are part of a company, group, or organization that has actively worked against or physically harmed ANY members of the queer community then Pride is not the space for you. 

We welcome performers who affirm and support our mission. WSP Pride wishes to create an environment that celebrates the gathering of a community, while remembering our history and all who have gathered before us:

• WSP Pride seeks to empower every queer person to live as their true self and to create a future where all queer people are valued and celebrated for who they are.

• The Pride celebration commemorates and continues the fight against discrimination and ongoing struggle for equality faced by lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer persons and their families.

While we would like to encourage and support all performing groups to create a more inclusive and diverse space, merely having members of the queer community employed does not qualify an organization or person as being supportive or an ally. WSP Pride recognizes that our actions show the world our values and will keep this in mind when considering what vendors will be approved for the upcoming festival and other events throughout the year. As such, if you are involved in any way with a group, company, or organization that has engaged in missions or activities that sought to harm or restrict the queer community in any way during the last five years but are taking steps to become more inclusive and supporting, please reach out before completing an application to discuss the best steps for you and your organization to take to become better allies to the queer community.

What is involved in the jury and approval process? 

Each entertainment’s application will be juried in the order they are received. The jury process will verify that your performance meets the acceptance criteria to become an entertainer at the 2025 WSP Pride Festival.
