Parade Entry Applications
For Pride Month 2026, we are focusing on honouring and celebrating local pride. We will only be accepting applications from local businesses and organizations.
For those who were planning to participate as an employee of a large corporation, we strongly encourage you to attend Pride 2026 as a representative of our local community instead.
Festival Vendor Applications
To be accepted as a vendor, applicants must complete and sign the application form stating that the applicant has read and agrees to the rules laid out below. Cowichan Pride Society reserves the right to accept or deny vendor applications.
Food vendors selling products on VIHA’s High Risk Food List must include their VIHA permit with this application. It is the vendors’ responsibility to know if the products being sold are in the Higher Risk Food List and to provide Cowichan Pride Society with all the paperwork necessary.
Vendors are assigned a minimum 10’x10’ space and are required to:
-
Provide their own display equipment, shelter, signs and stock the stall fully before the event starts
-
Once unloaded, move all vehicles away from the downtown area
-
Keep the stall space and surrounding area clean and ensure that all health regulations are met
-
Not interfere with customers’ access to neighboring stalls or the flow of customers
-
Be polite and courteous to other vendors and the public
