Where to watch the parade
Pride Toronto released a map with all the parades, their routes, and other festival areas.
Pride Toronto says this year’s ceremonies focuses on a theme they call “all in”, which celebrates diversity, inclusivity and justice.
“It is a call to come together to stand together in unshakable solidarity. It’s a promise to show up for one another every single day, united in our fight for a future where everyone can live unapologetically as they are,” said Pride Toronto on their website.
