After a week of daily events and celebrations, Pride events are taking over downtown Montreal.
Fierté Montréal is holding its 20th parade, where thousands are expected to march through the Village starting at 1 p.m.
Organizers have said they beefed up security after a deadly attack at Berlin Pride last month.
A group of leftist LGBTQ+, known as Wild Pride, is holding a second march starting at 2 p.m.
In a statement, the organizers of Wild Pride said they want to bring Pride back to its roots by protesting corporate sponsorship, police presence and colonialism.
