Rue Sainte-Catherine Est, Montréal, QCFierté Montréal (Montreal Pride) is the biggest Pride celebration in the francophone world — an 11-day, mostly-free festival that takes over the Gay Village and downtown from July 31 to August 9, 2026. The big weekend is August 7–9: Community Days on the pedestrianized Sainte-Catherine Est (Fri–Sat), the huge Pride Parade down René-Lévesque Boulevard on Sunday, Aug 9 at 1 PM, and the free Mega T-Dance closing party at Olympic Park. Add Montréal's legendary late-night club scene and it's one of the great Pride trips in North America. The festival is free; some parties are ticketed.
