About Montréal Pride
Founded in 2007 at the initiative of Montréal’s 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, the Montréal Pride festival is now the largest gathering of its kind in the French-speaking world. Each year, more than 150 cultural and community activities are organized in August, including the emblematic Pride Parade, to celebrate progress, commemorate the past, and highlight the battles that remain to be fought. This festival is an opportunity for people of sexual and gender diversity to proudly claim their identity and connect with their respective communities.
