Montreal's Gay Village, Pride Festival & LGBTQ+ Culture

Montreal's Gay Village (Le Village — the stretch of Rue Sainte-Catherine between Rue Amherst and Rue Papineau in the Centre-Sud neighbourhood — the largest and most vibrant gay neighbourhood in Canada, and one of the most internationally celebrated LGBTQ+ cultural districts in the world) and the Fierté Montreal Pride Festival (the annual LGBTQ+ Pride festival held in late July and early August — the largest Pride festival in francophone North America and consistently ranked among the top 5 Pride festivals in the world) define Montreal's extraordinary LGBTQ+ culture.
