We’re Canada’s largest festival and the second largest Pride in the world with over 3 million attendees.
Founded in 1981, Pride Toronto continues a legacy that is deeply intertwined with the rich, progressive history of Toronto’s queer community. From a small gathering of dedicated activists fighting for their right to love and be seen, to clashes with the government and police, to the vibrant celebration we know today, Pride has been a long time in the making.
Pride Toronto creates and supports events and programming that celebrate the diverse talents, stories, and achievements of all 2SLGBTQI+ communities, and boldly advocates for and defends our human rights.
To create a world in which all people feel safer, valued, celebrated, and included, regardless of how they identify or who they love.
