With an estimated 100,000 attendees and 100 groups marching, Vancouver's Pride Parade is a massive community and cultural event for the city each year.

The vibrant event took place Sunday, Aug. 6 this year and, along a new route, filled the city with rainbows, smiling faces, and upbeat music.

If you missed it, or want to relive some of the memories, lots of people posted photos and video across social media. We've collected some of that here:

As part of this year's festival an amazing dress was brought to Vancouver, made of the flags of the countries that criminalize the LGBTQ+ community.

 

Prior to the big parade, there were two other LGBTQ+ parades. The Vancouver Dyke March took place on Aug. 5.
