[[Fierté Montréal|Montreal Pride Parade]], is held in mid-August and has taken place every year since 1979, when a group of 200 people commemorated New York City's 1969 [[Stonewall Riots]] with ''"Gairilla"'', a precursor to Montreal's gay pride parade celebrations.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://montreal.about.com/od/montrealevents/a/pride_montreal_parade_defile_de_la_fierte_gai_celebrations.htm |title=Pride Montreal 2013 – Gay Pride Montreal 2013 Parade – Défilé de la fierté gai Celebrations |publisher=Montreal.about.com |access-date=2013-08-19 |archive-date=August 12, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160812051112/http://montreal.about.com/od/montrealevents/a/pride_montreal_parade_defile_de_la_fierte_gai_celebrations.htm |url-status=dead }}</ref> The LGBTQ+ festivities take place over eleven days, with events centered around the [[Gay Village, Montreal|Gay Village]].<ref>{{cite web|title=History|url=https://fiertemtl.com/en/about-us/history/|access-date=2021-06-04|website=Fierté Montréal|language=en-US}}</ref>

In May 2023, Montreal Pride launched a comprehensive rebrand of its website and logo, meant to signal that the non-profit had moved on from the last-minute cancellation of the 2022 parade, which was cancelled due to a lack of organization.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Stevenson |first=Verity |date=October 5, 2022 |title=Disorganization and a misunderstanding led to cancelling of Montreal Pride parade: report |work=CBC |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/report-pride-parade-cancellation-1.6607024 |access-date=May 24, 2023}}</ref>

Montreal Pride has hired 200 additional employees with event planning experience to ensure the August 13, 2023 parade is well-organized and prepared for the 100,000 expected attendees.<ref>{{Cite news |last1=Stevenson |first1=Verity |last2=Oduro |first2=Kwabena |date=May 18, 2023 |title=Montreal Pride launches rebrand, says it's confident parade will go on as planned this year |work=CBC News |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/montreal-pride-confident-parade-1.6848006 |access-date=May 24, 2023}}</ref>
