The art gallery will stay open until 10 p.m. with a Pride Palace Pop-Up Shop inside and a DJ dance party happening from 8-10 p.m.

As the event unfolds, participants can partake in a bookish evening with an author reading, gnome-painting workshop, a film night, drag night out at Harpur Farm and the all-ages, family-friendly drag brunch, which brings drag stars Frieda Whales, Syren Call, Sophonda and Valerie Rose to Salmon Arm.

Knitters, newbies and anyone even interested in the textile art are invited to join the crafty evening. As the Arts Centre is working on a collaborative upcoming project about environments fit for reading, knit night participants will help create pride-themed reading pods, comfortable spaces to sit with a book, out of knitting materials.
