The festival has unveiled the theme of this year’s parade, “a rallying cry inspired by the fight for the recognition and respect of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities’ rights.”

While everyone was bummed out by the cancellation of the 2024 edition of Just for Laughs this week, a reminder of another very special upcoming summer event has emerged. Fierté Montreal Pride unveiled the theme of the 2024 parade, which will close out the festival on Aug. 11: “We Are the Rainbow.”

“We Are the Rainbow is a rallying cry, inspired by the fight for the recognition and respect of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities’ rights. It is a reappropriation of the rainbow. It is a more inclusive evolution of its meaning. We Are the Rainbow. We are the possibilities. We are what’s to come.”
