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 events and celebrations, Pride festivities are now taking over downtown Montreal. The 20th annual parade of Fierté Montréal drew thousands of spectators. Security measures were reportedly heightened following a deadly incident at Berlin Pride the previous month. A leftist LGBTQ+ group called Wild Pride is organizing a separate march to commence at 2 p.m. They expressed their desire to restore Pride's original spirit by opposing corporate sponsorship, increased police presence, and colonialism.
Wild Pride organizers emphasized in a statement that their objective is to bring Pride back to its roots.
