Photos from the Vancouver Pride Parade

This past Sunday was the Vancouver Pride Parade & Festival held by the Vancouver Pride Society.

The Pride Parade hits Vancouver each year and is designed to showcase Canada’s proud diversity and respect for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered people.

What was once as a small protest march through the Davie Village has now turned into a world-class Pride Parade attracting supporters from Vancouver and around the world.

Sunday’s festival saw nearly 150 floats and 600,000 spectators flood the streets of Vancouver

Here’s a look at a few of the most popular photos I came across on Flickr.

Hope you had a great long weekend!
