Spotlight on 2SLGBTQIA+ Women
“With FeminiX, the Montréal Pride Festival aims to recognize sexually and gender diverse women, and honor them through this dedicated program,” said Simon Gamache, Executive Director of Montréal Pride. “FeminiX is a festive and inclusive gathering for 2SLGBTQIA+ women and their allies, that will highlight and remind us of their contributions to society, their realities and specially, their immense talent,” he added.

Ariane Moffatt will join a host of artists including the ADISQ’s Revelation of the Year Sarahmée, Atikamekw singer-songwriter Laura Niquay, Radio-Canada’s 2021 Revelation rapper Calamine, and DJs DJ Kris Tin and DJ Sam. These accomplished women and artists from the 2SLGBTQIA+ communities promise to deliver vibrant, stunning, and very danceable performances! FeminiX promises to be a unique musical cocktail that will take the audience from pop to rap, and from indie to disco.
