Toronto Pride Parade is Coming Up

Toronto Pride Parade 2007, originally uploaded by angora bunny.

The 2008 Toronto Pride Parade will be on Sunday, June 29 at 2:00 PM down Yonge Street. That's part of Pride Week, which will be from June 20th to 29th, because seven days just isn't enough to cram in all the exciting events.

A lot of people vacation in Toronto for Pride Week, it's one of the biggest tourist events in the city. If you are thinking about going better get those hotel reservations booked ASAP, or start kissing up to your friends who live in Toronto so you can crash on their couch.

Don't forget your camera! (and your sunblock)

I didn't go to Pride. Not that I don't support gay rights but I hate crowds and heat and I'm not so keen on parades. Toronto pride is huge, it's the sort of thing where you have to go pretty early to get a good view of the parade and there's lots of arguing over who had this spot first and you stepped on my foot and stuff like that. At least there was the one time I tried to go.

But I kind of enjoy it from a distance, walking up Queen Street on Friday afternoon I saw tons of gay couples and when walking around the city on Saturday we saw the dregs of the festivities, festively dressed worn out people probably heading to their hotel rooms to recuperate from the parade so they can go out and party.
