This is a photo I took from the 2006 Gay Pride Parade here in Toronto. This year is it's 30th anniversary.
It's a hugely popular event that attracts upwards of a million people along it's route. Major corporate sponsors have floats and people of all ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds participate.
2010 Pride Week begins on June 25th culminating with the much anticipated Pride Parade on Sunday, July 4th. The parade starts at 2:00 p.m. at Bloor and Church, runs south on Yonge to Gerrard before heading back to Church.
If you want to get a curbside spot be sure to arrive at least an hour or two before the parade starts. And if you have a camera be sure to look out for the many parade participants with squirt guns. Have fun!
