Spanning 20 blocks in downtown Vancouver and attracting over , spectators, the Vancouver Pride Parade is large, colourful, tongue-and-cheek, and—most of all—lots of fun. While there are viewing points for the Parade all along the route, my favourite spot is on Beach Avenue and Jervis. That spot lets you catch the end of the Parade and then you can just walk down to Sunset Beach for the Vancouver Pride Festival , a continuation of the Parade festivities that lasts until 6pm and includes live music, local performers, food, and booths.

Gay pride or LGBT pride is the promotion of the self-affirmation , dignity, equality, and increased visibility of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender LGBT people as a social group. Pride, as opposed to shame and social stigma , is the predominant outlook that bolsters most LGBT rights movements. Ranging from solemn to carnivalesque, pride events are typically held during LGBT Pride Month or some other period that commemorates a turning point in a country's LGBT history , for example Moscow Pride in May for the anniversary of Russia's decriminalization of homosexuality.
