There's no doubt about it—Pride season is upon us once again. North American city streets are awash in rainbows of fruity flavours, with everyone from straight to gay showing their true colours and celebrating queer equality and sexuality.

Parades and festivals have been taking place all across the U.S. as well as in Canada, in cities like Edmonton, Regina, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, and Nanaimo.

But there are plenty more to come, particularly in British Columbia. Here's a quick rundown of upcoming Pride parades and festivals (apologies for any omissions) to partake in.

East Side Pride: East Vancouverites and communities outside the West End get a parade of their own on June 30, 11 a.m., Commercial Drive

There are plenty more, and far too many to list. If you're traveling to a Canadian city this summer, try Googling the name of the city or town along with "Pride" to find out if your chosen destination is celebrating Pride.

Happy Pride to all!
