With the restoration of the city’s cherished festivals and events, Toronto will be returning to its pre-pandemic personality after more than 2 years of cancellations.
The city is ready to welcome back in-person events and festivals, and to reinvigorate the cultural vibrancy of the city, thanks to the gains Team Toronto has achieved on the vaccination front and other important health metrics.
Here are some of the main events and festivals that are returning:
Pride Parade:
In 2022, Pride Month and Festival Weekend will return to Toronto, with the entire month of Pride programming beginning on June 1st and ending with the annual Pride Festival Weekend on June 24–26. pridetoronto.com
