Founded in 2007, Montréal Pride is now the largest LGBT gathering in the Francophone world and will be celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2016.
Montréal Pride is a multifaceted cultural festival offering over the course of seven days, more than 125 activities that include something for everyone.
Active all year-long, the organisation’s primary mission remains to support and promote local LGBT communities while serving as a beacon of hope for people around the world who continue to battle injustice.
Each year, Montréal Pride attracts close to 500,000 local and international visitors. In 2016, the Montréal Pride festival will take place from August 8 to 14.
In August 2016, Montréal Pride will once again present its three flagship events:
♦ Community Day —along Sainte-Catherine Street East in the Village
♦ On Saturday, August 13; the emblematic Pride Parade, presented by Viagra — starting at 1pm
♦ On Sunday, August 14; and the iconic T-Dance, at Place Émilie-Gamelin, starting at 1pm
For the fourth consecutive year, creative direction for the Pride Parade will be inspired by the rainbow flag, which this year will be draped in green: a representation of the environment and the rich, diverse nature of LGBT people.
Following the Our Flag, Our Nature theme, Montréal Pride invites all people registered in the Parade to let their imaginations run wild and display their own unique interpretations of the colour as they make their way along the 2.4 km Parade route on René-Lévesque Boulevard, from Rue Guy to Rue Sanguinet.
The Montréal Pride team is also hard at work planning Canada Pride Montréal 2017, the first ever pan-Canadian Pride event as part of the festivities for Montréal’s 375th anniversary and establishing Montréal Pride’s status as the most important LGBT gathering in the Francophone world and leader in the defence of LGBT rights.
