Fierté Montréal — aka Montreal Pride — is back in less than a week, and the countdown is officially on!
The 19th edition of the festival, running from July 31 to August 11, will once again be centered around three hubs across the city: Urban, Olympic, and Village.
This year’s program will spotlight a vibrant mix of performances, art exhibitions, drag shows, and more — all celebrating artists from the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.
Here are some can’t-miss events:
