advertising + sponsorship
OutFest is the largest Queer performance festival in Mi’kma’ki / Atlantic Canada, with local, regional, and national artists performing at venues across the city.
In April 2026, we will be presenting award-winning theatre on our Main Stage, new and excciting genre-defying work that tests the boundaries of performance, on our Emerging, and Open Stage.
This year will also see the launch of inQubator, a brand new 2 Year Development Program which will support the development, and creation of new Queer work. The festival will also include award-winning artists on both our Comedy Stage, which won the Audience Choice Award in 2025, and our Music Stage.
Beep! Beep!
OutFest 2026 will also include our very first Bus Trip! This project is in partnership with the St. Margarets Bay Pride, Petite Queer Pride, and Lunenburg Pride, with support from the Diversity and Community Capacity Fund (a Support4Culture assisted program). A bus will bring passengers from the South Shore to Halifax on the final day of the festival (Sunday, April 19th). Tickets will include access to the Main Stage, and a bus ticket.
And if that’s not enough, you can stop by our Makers Market with Different Folks, and support local makers!

WHY ADVERTISE / SPONSOR WITH PAGE1 THEATRE
By advertising and/or sponsoring one of our many events, you are directly supporting local Queer artists, and the Queer community.
How?
Your support helps us to compensate local artists with a fair, and equitable fee. We are then able to offer a variety of ticket options for audiences, as well as FREE events, allowing more people to access Queer arts. Both initiatives help strengthen our community, and create connection.
This is also a great way to promote your business, and/or event. Our Festival Program will be distributed across the city to 120+ local businesses in March, and will also be distributed to patrons during the festival.
We’ve also created several packages through Tourism NS, and in partnership with Moxy Hotel.
The festival has an average audience of about 1,000 - 1,200 over a 6-day period, with program distributed to over 120 local businesses, libraries, and partners.
