While the full program will be unveiled on June 19, 2018, the Montreal Pride Festival promises the return of several popular events but also the addition of a multitude of new activities. It should be noted that all the free outdoor shows will be presented this year at the Parc des Faubourgs. This new venue, located at the corner of De Lorimier and Ontario streets, was one of the hits of the 2017 edition. A few minutes from the Papineau metro station, this vast green space comfortably accommodates the larger crowds, to the delight of festival-goers. Since 2007, at the initiative of Montréal’s LGBTQ+ communities, the Montréal Pride Festival has promoted their rights and celebrated their cultural wealth and social advances. The largest gathering of the communities of sexual and gender diversity (SGD) in the Francophone world works locally on a daily basis while serving as a beacon of hope for people living in LGBTQ+ hostile regions of the globe. In 2017, the festival generated a total attendance of 2.7 million visitors. In 2018, the festivities will be held from August 9th to 19th.
