Pride Toronto is the not-for-profit organization that hosts Pride Week, an annual event in downtown Toronto, which takes place each year during the last week of June.

Pride Week celebrates our diverse sexual and gender identities, histories, cultures, creativities, families, friends and lives. It includes a three-day street festival with over eight stages of live entertainment, an extensive street fair (including community booths, vendors, food stalls), a special Family Pride program, a politically charged Dyke March, a Trans March and the famous Pride Parade.
A ten day long event, Pride Week is one of the premier arts and cultural festivals in Canada and one of the largest Pride celebrations in the world with an estimated attendance of over 1,2 million people. An award winning festival, Pride Week is one of only eight officially designated City of Toronto "Signature Events", is recognized as one of the "Top 50 Festivals in Ontario" by Festivals and Events Ontario, and has been awarded the "Best Festival in Canada" award by the Canadian Special Event Industry two years in a row.

Pride Toronto employs ten full-time staff and six part-time staff and relies on the leadership and energy of hundreds of volunteers to make this enormous event happen each year. Throughout the year, Pride Toronto has an active 12 member volunteer Board of Directors, 26 year-round volunteer committees and up to 150 year-round volunteers. During the event, up to 1200 additional volunteers commit their time and energy to produce and manage the festival.
