Halifax Naked Peace Protest Ride & March
Sunday July 20, 2025 12:00pm - 2:00pm ADT
A fun free-spirited tradition that has been held locally for over a decade (and globally for even longer!), where attendees are welcome to strip down and shed their shame as they take to the city streets in celebration of our natural world and the beauty of all bodies! You can Ride or March, whether with your bike, wheelchair, scooter, or your own two feet; whatever gets your body moving! Come join in or show your support by cheering us on! In a time when so many bodies are policed or made the subject of political rhetoric and autonomy taken away, one of the many positive messages we want to promote is that nudity should not be viewed as inherently sexual, but rather should be accepted as a beautiful part of life and a symbol of freedom.

So Fetch! Dog Walk
Saturday July 26, 2025 11:00am - 12:00pm ADT
Calling all puppers and hoomans! Let's go for a dog walk around Shubie Park. We’ll meet on the grassy area next to the parking lot at the end of Locks Road. Pooches and hoomans are encouraged to wear plenty of rainbow attire so look for the rainbows when you arrive. We’ll begin the walk shortly after 11:00 am, doing a loop around the park that sticks mostly to off-leash areas, with a quick midpoint break at Sunrise Beach for a group photo. Following the walk, stick around for ice cream sandwiches, freezies, and treats for all.

But wait! There’s more! After our walk, any pups who want to be included in the Best Dressed contest (voting will happen online) will need their portraits taken! The cost for a portrait is just $35, with 100% being donated to the SPCA. You'll receive a digital copy of your portrait and be entered in the contest for a chance to win your own mini photo session with Wet Nose Images!
