Fierté Montréal Pride parade takes over downtown after week of celebrations
Fierté Montréal is holding its 20th parade, where thousands gathered to watch the festivities, with security increased after the deadly attack at Berlin Pride in July.
After a week of daily Pride celebrations, Montreal's Fierté Montréal parade is now taking over the city's downtown area. The 20th annual event drew crowds as organizers ramped up security measures following a deadly attack at the Berlin Pride festival last month. In response to concerns about corporate sponsorship, police presence, and colonialism, a leftist LGBTQ+ group called Wild Pride has organized a second march starting at 2 p.m. in protest of these issues.
