Smirnoff Turns Up the Sound, Spirit, and Celebration at Pride 2025

Smirnoff champions the 2SLGBTQI+ community with vibrant lineup of performances and immersive experiences at Pride Toronto

TORONTO, June 9, 2025 /CNW/ - Smirnoff is turning the volume up on joy, self-expression, and togetherness this Pride season. As Canada's #1 Vodka¹ and a proud gold sponsor of Pride Toronto, Smirnoff is showing up with a celebration that's as bold and vibrant as the 2SLGBTQI+ community itself.

"As we continue our journey in celebrating Canada's diversity and creating vibrant feel-good moments, Pride Toronto has been a valued part of our commitment to building meaningful connections and inclusive experiences," says Nadia Niccoli, Head of Marketing at Diageo Canada. "We're honoured to celebrate alongside our partners and the 2SLGBTQI+ community with high energy, music, and unmistakable Smirnoff vibes."

This year, Smirnoff's Pride float is a moving celebration of music, visibility, and queer joy. Leading the float will be Rêve, Canadian singer-songwriter and Slater ManzoToronto-based DJ — two 2SLGBTQI+ allies and creative forces who have built a strong presence within the queer community. Together, they'll deliver a soundtrack of unity and celebration as they headline the float through the heart of downtown Toronto.

To keep the celebrations going across the city, Smirnoff is turning up the energy with its immersive "Dive into Pride" Ball Pit experience popping up at two of the city's most iconic events — Village Fest from June 20–22 and the Pride Street Fair from June 27–29. Guests can dive into a playful, colourful escape and soak up the Smirnoff vibes with music, fun photo ops and a chance to score exclusive swag and giveaways throughout the experience.

Whether you're dancing in the streets or diving into the pit, Smirnoff invites everyone to show up, be loud, and celebrate Pride 2025—just as they are. Because when WE DO WE, we're unstoppable.
