Parade Route

In 2008, the Parade route was extended to accomodate the crowds for Pride's 30th Anniversary celebration. With a crowd of over 500,000 the city closed down the busiest shopping street to help celebrate 30 Years of the Rainbow. In 2010, with the extended route, you can be sure to have a front-row view of the largest celebration in Western Canada!

The 2010 Pride Parade will start in the heart of downtown Vancouver. The Parade begins at 12:00, Sunday August 1st at Robson and Bute, heads West down the hill to Denman street, follows Denman to Pacific and Beach Avenue and finishes at the Sunset Beach Festival Site. See the Parade Route Map below, or view the interactive map.
