This year, the Pride Parade shines bright under the theme “Let’s Shine Together!” It is time to unite our sparks, celebrate our diversity, and let our pride radiate stronger than ever.
Shine together!
Shine Together celebrates the collective strength that unites our communities.
In a world where some voices are silenced, choosing to shine by being yourself becomes an act of resistance. No light should be dimmed, no identity erased.
To shine is to exist fully, without apology; it is to claim our place; it is to assert that no one can take away who we are.
And the more of us who move forward together, the brighter we shine, and thus, the further that light reaches.
Join thousands of marchers to celebrate the advances of the 2SLGBTQIA+ communities’ rights, and to amplify our demands. Following the parading contingents, all attendees are invited to join the march and to conclude the Pride Parade in a festive and citizen-like manner. Come march or attend the parade to show your support for the 2SLGBTQIA+ communities!

Approximately 1.9 km in length, the route will begin symbolically in the former 2SLGBTQIA+ district in the West (at the corner of René-Lévesque Boulevard and Robert-Bourassa Boulevard) and end in the heart of today’s Village in the East (at the corner of René-Lévesque Boulevard and Atataken Street).
A moment of silence will take place. You are invited to pause. Cease all music and noise to honour the memory of lives lost prematurely to transphobia, lesbophobia, homophobia, biphobia, and AIDS. This moment of remembrance will also be an opportunity to commemorate missing or murdered Indigenous 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals, in order to guide our future actions.
Following this solemn moment, the celebrations continue all day long. After the parade, head to the heart of the Village for the great Zenith celebration day. Then, on the Olympic Park Esplanade vibe together during the legendary Mega T-Dance.
