THE FUN

OK so those are the details and here’s the fun.

Dress up! Feel free to let your flag fly - there’s no other time of the year when you can be everything you want to be.

Carry Water. It will be very very hot if the sun is out. 90% of the parades I’ve attended over the past decade have been very sunny and very hot. Wear a hat, put on sunscreen before you leave the house (no, sunscreen is not bad for you, it will save your skin from numerous surgeries in your 60s trust me)

Join in. If you’re mobile, and you see someone you know in the parade, jump in and walk along for a bit. It’s an exhilarating experience!

Leave your puppers at home. The crowds, the noise, the heat will all be unpleasant for your furbaby. There’s nothing fun about a massive parade for dogs (or cats).

THE MAGAZINE

Each year the Vancouver Pride Society puts out fun magazine - the ad prices have always been far to rich for our capacity but it’s still a fun read. Link will be here when the magazine is available.
