Get your rainbows on!
VocalEye has been describing the Vancouver Pride Parade since 2015 in partnership with the Vancouver Pride Society. We’re thrilled to make this event more accessible for the blind and low vision community again this summer!
The VocalEye Accessible Viewing Zone tent will be at the south east corner of the Davie St and Pacific Blvd intersection (outside RBC).
Please arrive at noon (or before) to get settled in. The Info Tent opens at 11 am in front of the Roundhouse Community Centre. There will be shade, but we recommend hats, sunglasses and sunscreen. The seats are hard plastic, so you may want to bring a cushion and whatever you need to be comfortable for the day. VocalEye will supply headsets, beads, tattoos and some snacks. Bottled water and an accessible washroom will be available on site.

Resources
Vancouver Pride Society brings together members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Two-Spirit and Queer community, their friends, allies and supporters in celebration! Unapologetically Queer is Vancouver Pride’s 2026 theme. It’s an invitation to show up exactly as you are.
Pride is about celebrating every part of our diverse 2SLGBTQIA+ community. Whether you’re lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, Two-Spirit, queer, non-binary, ace, intersex, questioning, or anywhere else within our community, you belong here.
This year’s theme celebrates authenticity, courage, and connection. It’s about embracing who we are, supporting one another, and creating spaces where everyone can feel seen, welcomed, and celebrated.
