PRIDE AND TRUE

The city flies its rainbow flag for Fierté Montreal’s 10 days of celebration, including a bounty of blockbuster performances. Check out Drag Superstars, hosted by RuPaul’s Drag Race winner Bianca Del Rio, for a mix of drag, comedy and a whole lot of singing, or headlining acts like Canadian electronic icon Peaches, bounce artist Big Freedia and Puerto Rican rapper Princess Nokia. Close out festivities with the raucous parade, culminating in the heart of the Gay Village (August 19).
