Vancouver Pride Parade, 2023

First held in 1978 as an unofficial protest march through Davie Village, and made official a few years later in 1981, the 2023 edition of Canada’s oldest Pride parade saw a new, more accessible route, hundreds of participants, and thousands of spectators. It was a family friendly affair, with plenty of colorful costumes, music and dancing, and lots of corporate sponsorship. Here’s some snaps from along the parade route.
