The Halifax Pride Festival is officially underway.

This year’s theme is Flourish @ Pride.

A week of pride week events kicked off with a rainbow pancake breakfast Thursday morning.

The pride flag-raising is set for 5 p.m. at Grand Parade.

Among the many Pride week events are picnics, parties, music, roller derby — and the naked peace protest ride and march.

The Halifax Pride Parade happens Saturday at noon.
