After a two-year pandemic hiatus, Montreal’s Pride Festival and parade are back on.

For the first time since 2019, Fierté Montréal is back with live in-person performances, concerts and activities on the Esplanade of the Olympic Park, Montreal Pride’s new main site, as well as in the Gay Village and downtown.

Free concerts, drag superstars, community events and more will be on display at a festival that prides itself on its inclusiveness and diversity.

This 15th edition of Montreal Pride runs from August 1 to 7.

The week of celebrations comes to an end with Sunday’s Pride Parade and one giant disco party.
