 | |  |  | events / festivals: Toronto Gay Pride Parade!! 20 June- 26 2005 | |  |  | |  |
The funniest festival I have ever seen in my life. The gay pride is a common festival in Toronto. Thousands of people around North America visit Toronto for this day every year. Thousands of people walk downtown with extraoriginal costumes, by cabrio cars and motorcyles. People dance on streets, kiss, hug and a huge festival for such a minority in the society. Believe it or not, everybody tell this in Toronto that Canada or Toronto has a big gay population among other North American cities. Now here is some more info about the pride which I copied from a website>>>>>>> Pride Toronto is the not-for-profit organization that hosts Pride Week, an annual event in downtown Toronto that happens each year during the last week of June. Pride Week is one of only eight officially designated City of Toronto “Signature Events”, and in 2004 was designated one of the "Top 50 Festivals in Ontario" (FEO). Pride Week celebrates our diverse sexual and gender identities, histories, cultures, creativities, families, friends and lives. It includes a participatory, week long festival, a three-day arts fest with over ten entertainment stages, a weekend street fair (including a community fair and market place), a Dyke March and a Pride Parade. Pride Toronto employs four full time staff and we rely on the leadership and energy of literally hundreds of volunteers to make this enormous event happen each year. In 2003, the Toronto Star estimated more than one million people attended the annual Pride Parade, making Pride Week in Toronto one of the largest events of it’s kind in the world.
