Vancouver Pride organizers are aiming high with their goal of hosting the world’s largest pride festival, but the rainbow road to get there will be a long one.
WorldPride is a globe-trotting pride festival, held in a different city for a pride season and organized by the local pride society supplanting and significantly expanding the host city’s usual pride events, festivities, and programming, and adding a human rights conference.
The host city for WorldPride is transformed into an electric village celebrating the LGBTQ community, its annual Pride Parade is super-sized, and it becomes the beacon of the global pride festival calendar. Vancouver as the host would become the “must-visit” gay tourism destination of the year, attracting hundreds of thousands of members of the LGBTQ community from all over the globe. WorldPride is essentially the Olympics of pride festivals.
