Pride Toronto 2026

Pride Toronto is one of the world's largest pride celebrations, drawing over 1.5 million visitors to Canada's largest city for a ten-day festival each June. The Sunday Dyke March and Monday Trans March flank the legendary Saturday Pride Parade — one of North America's biggest — which draws 1 million+ spectators through Church-Wellesley Village, Toronto's celebrated gay neighborhood.

Founded in 1981 in direct response to police raids on Toronto gay bathhouses, Pride Toronto has become one of the city's most important cultural events and a major contributor to the local economy. The Church and Wellesley intersection, nicknamed "The Village," becomes a 24-hour outdoor festival for the entire ten-day run, with stages, markets, and community programming filling the street.
