Toronto Pride is one of the biggest festivals in Canada, and around 2.7 million people were expected to pack into downtown today to wrap up a month of festivities.

Toronto Pride started back in June of 1981 when 1500 people gathered in a park. 42 years later, it’s now one of the biggest pride festivals in the world.
