Trans March – Friday, June 22: Rally 7 p.m. | March 8 p.m.
For full details, including meet up times and locations, check out: humber.ca/lgbtq/events/trans-march
Via Pride Toronto: Toronto’s Trans March is officially one of the largest, most exciting Pride events in the world – not only for all the trans and non-binary folks, friends, and allies who rally and march together in solidarity, but for anyone who is lucky enough to witness the landmark event. Trans women of colour and people with different abilities are encouraged to lead the march and set the pace for all. Join us at the intersection of Church and Hayden streets as we make our way along Bloor, south on Yonge, and east on Carlton to Allan Gardens where we host a fantastic lineup of trans performers for a post-March showcase until 10 p.m. “Trans” is an umbrella term that refers to all the identities within the gender identity spectrum. It includes but is not limited to community members who identify as transgender, transsexual, transvestite, genderqueer, gender-fluid, gender-independent, non-binary, third gender, two-spirit, and bi-gender.
Dyke March – Saturday, June 23: Rally 1 p.m. | March 2 p.m.
For full details, including meet up times and locations, check out: humber.ca/lgbtq/events/dyke-march
Via Pride Toronto: The Toronto Dyke March is a political demonstration of critical mass, welcoming all self-identified dykes to create political and visible space. This grassroots event is not a parade. The women and trans people of our dyke community take over the streets of downtown Toronto to celebrate our power, strength, diversity and passion of dyke experiences and identities. We will reflect on our history, celebrate our accomplishments, learn from our past, honour where we've come from and lift voices that have been silenced and forgotten. Join us for the post-march rally in Allan Gardens for performances, crafting and even more dyke-community building.
Pride Parade – Sunday, June 24: Humber March Time 3:15 p.m.
For full details, including meet up times and locations, check out: humber.ca/lgbtq/events/pride-parade
Via Pride Toronto: Costumes, choreography, and colour! Stand loud and proud with more than 120 groups marching in Pride Toronto’s Pride Parade, one of the largest in North America. This is the weekend’s premier event, bursting with performances, floats, marchers with messages, queens, kings, outstanding community groups, and more glitter than you can shake a disco stick at. For the second year in a row, Miss Conception will be calling the play by play at our announcer stage. The procession starts at 2 p.m. at the corner of Bloor and Church and stomps its way down Yonge Street to the Dundas Square stage. Don’t miss this massive street gathering of amazing folks who make our community what it is.
Happy Pride!
