Montreal

Pride & Events

Montreal is a city of festivals and celebration. In mid-August, the city's Gay Village hosts the week-long Pride and Black & Blue, the world's largest gay-benefit dance party, follows in October. Cinephiles flock to the Afrocaribbean LGBT Film Festival and Image+National LGBT Film Festival, and more offbeat events include the Qouleur Festival of art and social action and Mado's Drag Races, a fun event that flips gender on its head.
