In the 6: Toronto Festivals Worth Attending
| May 19, 2017
Pride Week
Toronto Pride Week takes place every June, and is a full week long celebration of all things LGBTQ. The biggest events are the Pride Parade and the Dyke March, which take place on the final weekend of the festival. Thousands of people line the parade route and cheer on the floats coming down the street, all the while hoping to be drenched by water gun toting bystanders – a time-honored tradition. Church Street is closed between Bloor and College for the whole week, and multiple event stages are set up for concerts which run from the afternoon well into the evening.
