Pride Month 2017: Your Guide to What’s Happening in Toronto

Toronto’s annual Pride Parade may not take place until Sunday, June 25, but the city has been gearing up for Pride Month since the calendar flipped to the month of June. If you want to get in on the LGBQT celebrations, you’re in luck. From a night at Ripley’s Aquarium to a rainbow bash at the ROM, events are taking place all over Toronto (here’s a handy map). We’ll be keeping an eye on any last-minute events that pop up, so check back for more updates.
