Showing our pride—Hatch employees participate in Montreal Pride parade

Fierté Montréal Festival is the largest LGBTQ+ gathering in the Francophone world. In addition to the city’s welcoming LGBTQ+ bars and hangouts, Montreal is putting on a star-studded show that's focused on community and involvement.

The parade theme, "Blossom here, now!", celebrates the right of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community to grow, thrive, and love openly. 

Montreal’s first Pride march was held in June to mark the 10th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising of La Brigade Rose organizers in Montreal drew 52 marchers in Forty years later, in , total attendance at Montreal Pride topped 3 million.
