About Lakefield Pride
Our planning committee is powered by youth, and a handful of their parents and dedicated community members. We are growing and changing every year.
All of our youth have a voice and play important roles in planning, organizing, and running the event. They are all active advocates for inclusivity in our community!
We are always hoping to find new members, of all ages, to help with the picnic and other events throughout the year. Get in touch!
Fifth annual Lakefield Pride Picnic to Feature Home Grown Talent
Sunday, September 21, 2025
The Lakefield Pride Committee is pleased to announce that it will be hosting the 5th annual Lakefield Pride Picnic on Sunday, September 21, 2025, at Lakefield's Cenotaph Park. The picnic will run from 11:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.
Lakefield Pride Picnic is celebrating its fifth year! To commemorate this great achievement, we have new and exciting things planned for Sunday, September 21, 2025.
We have been chosen to receive a Neighbourhoods Grant from the United Way, to support welcoming our special headliner, Melissa Payne, who has promised to deliver and excellent show with her Bitchin' Betties band. Opening for The Bitchin' Betties, will be local talent, Crocky's Starband. There will, as usual, be food, crafters, and vendors of various kinds, along with children's activities (don't miss the new unicorn bounce house!) and plenty of community groups sharing education and resources.
We will still do our customary march through the village at 11:30, and come back to celebrate at our all new location - Cenotaph Park - right in the heart of the village. Of course, it wouldn't be Lakefield Pride without a story-time and performance by Lakefield's own, Betty Baker, drag queen extraordinaire.
As always, this is a family-friendly event celebrating local diversity, local talent, and local Pride. Please come with your good vibes, and enjoy a day of music and joy with Lakefield Pride.
