About New Ho Queen
New Ho Queen is a nightlife collective of Trans and Queer Asian artists working across music, performance, design, fashion, and film. Since 2018, they’ve been creating vibrant, safer party spaces for people to connect, celebrate, and center Queer Asian joy.

Rooted in community, their work moves between nightlife and cultural programming. They’ve hosted thousands of attendees and commissioned hundreds of QTBIPOC artists, building a space where Asian artists are seen at their best.

New Ho Queen is currently a Party-in-Residence at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre (2024 – 2026), and has been featured in W Magazine.

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 Partners, Canadian Heritage and Experience Ontario, our Platinum Sponsor, National Bank, and our Gold Sponsor, Freddie, for making the 2026 Queer Pride Festival possible!
