Vancouver Pride Parade

Sunday August 1st, 2010 at 12:00pm

What began as a small protest march through the Davie Village has blossomed into a world-class Pride Parade attracting not only supporters within the LGBT community in Vancouver but our friends worldwide. The bigger we get, the more fun we have and the more we can showcase Canada’s proud diversity. Particularly dear to the hearts of the VPS is the fact that our Pride Parade can provide inspiration and courage to the LGBT community worldwide. Our Pride started as a brave peaceful protest (“We’re here! We’re queer!”) and has grown into a role model for LGBT communities who continue to fight hard for their human rights.

Spanning 20 blocks and attracting an audience of over 600,000 in 2009, the Pride Parade is Vancouver's premier celebration of culture and diversity. Come to the Parade on August 1st, 2010 to see what all the fuss is about!
