The Pride Legacy Pageant 2026

A bevy of stunning drag artists compete across two categories in the second annual Pride Legacy Pageant. Hosted by Canada’s Drag Race: Canada vs. the World winner Lemon, this collaboration between Vision Drag and Buddies celebrates the strong history of drag in Toronto’s Village and beyond, recognizing past, current, and future legends of the scene.

The winner will walk away with a $1,000 cash prize, and a paid performance slot at Buddies’ Tallulah’s Pride Party.

The Pride Legacy Pageant is supported by the PrEP Clinic.

Founded by Talent Agent Daniel Birnbaum, in partnership with The Talent House, Vision Drag Artists is a full service agency representing some of the country's best Drag and LGBTQ2SIA+ Entertainers. We work with venues, events, and promoters worldwide booking our talent in festivals, personal appearance, solo tours, colleges, corporate and private functions, as well as on camera and endorsement deals.

Vision Drag Artists is working to create a bridge between Queer Art, and industry, by celebrating all things Drag!  

Queer Pride 2026

June 5 – 28, 2026

WE’RE BACK DIVAS <3

It’s Queer Pride 2026 and Buddies and Buddies Nightlife are teaming up to make HERstory with our messiest, most maximalist Pride yet. We’ve got a full month line-up of extremely queer parties, raves, cabarets, concerts, and comedy.

No matter what flavour you bring, there’s room for you in our alphabet soup ;)

Join us on the biggest dance floor in the village for the best of queer culture in Toronto and beyond.

Thank you to our Government Partner, Canadian Heritage, and our Gold Sponsor, Freddie, for making the 2026 Queer Pride Festival possible!
