Vancouver Pride 2023 Canada

Info

Vancouver Pride takes place on Sunday the 6th August 2023.

45th Annual Pride Parade.

It has been three years since our last in person Pride Parade. At that parade in 2019 three federal leaders marched together.
A celebration. A protest. A party. A place to take up space. An opportunity to don our finest and shiniest. A chance to recognize how far we have come and reflect on where we need to go from here. Ask ten different people, and you will receive ten different answers on what the Pride Parade means to them.

Around the country and world, the conversation about how to ensure that the politics of Pride are not subsumed by the partisanship of political parties has been front and centre. There are two trends across pride parades – the first is to just say no to any political parties and the other is to welcome political parties to participate together, keeping the celebration of the 2SLGBTQAI+ community the focus.

Parade
