Toronto’s 44th annual Pride Parade kicks off this afternoon, bringing thousands of marchers, music, and celebration to the heart of the city.
The parade begins at 2 p.m. at the corner of Park Road and Rosedale Valley Road. From there, the parade will travel south along Yonge Street and wrap up at Queen Street West and Bay Street.
Spectators are already gathering along the route, with hundreds of thousands anticipated to line the downtown core for one of the largest parades in North America.
For those watching from home, CP24 will carry a special live coverage of the event from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Hosted by Bill Coulter and Jee-Yun Lee, the broadcast will include interviews with parade organizers and community leaders.
Road closures are in effect throughout the downtown core to accommodate the event, and attendees are encouraged to take public transit. All roads are expected to reopen at 8 p.m.
