Event Profile
If last year's crowd is any indication, this year's parade is going to bigger -- and barer -- than ever.
The Gay Pride Parade transforms the streets of downtown Toronto into an afternoon of colourful celebration. The Pride parade is the climax of a week-long celebration of gay and lesbian pride in Toronto. It's about celebrating rights, community, creativity and freedom, as well as expressing them in costume, music, performance and sheer fun.
The first gay pride picnic in 1971 drew a gathering of 100 people, yet with continued support throughout the years it has become a major attraction. Today, the parade draws more than 800,000 people, making it one of Toronto's largest cultural festivals and among the three largest Gay Pride events in the world.
The parade takes part during Gay Pride Week, a week in which various activities will take place along Church St. The events are organized by the Toronto Pride Committee, a volunteer organization.
This year, the parade will commence at the corner of Bloor Street East at Church, move west to Yonge Street, proceed south on Yonge to Dundas and then move east and end at Church and Dundas Streets.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
