Montreal Pride festivities are kicking off and you may have noticed that the Gay Village has gotten a little more colourful with the addition of a rainbow crosswalk.

💜💙💚💛❤️ RAINBOW CROSSWALK. Pride fest is 11 days here in Montreal, and it starts officially TODAY (totally coincidental that we picked this weekend to come to Montreal)! Canada gets it right, for sure. 💜🇨🇦💜 . . . . #travelgram #instatravel #travelblog #traveldiary #natgeoyourshot #travelphotography #nomad #digitalnomad #nature #discover #wanderlust #explore #slowdown #montreal #canada #lgbt #fierté #pride #lgbtq #lgbttravel #lovewins #loveislove

The newly painted colourful crosswalk is a project organized by Fierté Montréal. You can find the rainbow at the corner of St. Catherine and St. Hubert. 

It’s the perfect addition, and it’s just in time for Montreal’s 10-day Pride extravaganza.
