Thousands transformed downtown Vancouver and showed their love as they flaunted their pride at this year’s annual Vancouver Pride Parade.
The parade began at noon at Davie and Denman streets and travelled along Pacific Street to finish at Concord Pacific Place.

This Sunday’s free festival features drag performances, a marketplace, food and drink vendors, and more.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was also spotted in the crowd taking photos with attendees but did not walk in the parade.
Great to have @JustinTrudeau celebrating love and equality with our Liberal volunteers and supporters today.
