Montreal’s colourful Pride parade goes down today as the flagship event of this month’s Pride celebrations, meandering eastwards along Réné-Lévesque throughout the afternoon from Drummond (departing at 12 p.m.) to Berri Square (arriving at 4 p.m.). While you’re in the area, you can also catch the final day of the group exhibition Les cabinets de curiosités LGBTQ+ featuring works by Evergon, Kent Monkman, JJ Levine, Lez Spread the Word and more (405 Ste-Catherine E., 12–6 p.m., $5 donation suggested) and Pride’s closing event, the huge, free Mega T-Dance Party in Parc des Faubourgs with DJ Escape, Hueby, Sandy Duperval and Mark DeMarko (corner Ontario E. and de Lorimier, 1–11 p.m., free).

If you prefer to celebrate Pride with a little less bank and a little more black, check out tonight’s Black Queer Lives Matter benefit show at la Vitrola featuring performances from queer and trans artists of colour Lucas Charlie Rose, Afropanther, Strange Froots, Mikki Bradshaw, Michael Perry, Raï Simone, IAMREBELWILL and more. 4602 St-Laurent, 8 p.m., $10/PWYC
