Here's everything you missed at Canada's largest Pride parade (PHOTOS)

The sunshine and the city came out for Toronto’s annual Pride Parade on Sunday.

The 2019 Toronto Pride weekend has wrapped up for another year and now it’s time to recover from throbbing hangovers, stray glitter, and of course, an Instagram feed full of rainbows.

This year’s festivities concluded with the epic capstone parade which featured amazing colourful marches, music, costumes, and plenty of fun.

Celebrating 50 years of global marches, thousands marched tall and proud in one of the largest pride parades in North America, with the over 200 groups joining together for the event.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau proudly marched in the parade, alongside Toronto Mayor John Tory, and Canada’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Chrystia Freeland.

When we advocate for each other the walls come tumbling down #loveislove #Pride is an opportunity to reflect on strides we have made to promote inclusion, and the work left to be done. Great to march with PM @JustinTrudeau and my fellow Liberal colleagues and supporters pic.twitter.com/guG6H3aI6v

The energy at @PrideToronto, is off the charts! As we mark 50 years since the decriminalization of homosexuality in Canada, we recognize how far we’ve come, while recommitting ourselves to a better and safer future for all #LGBTQ2 people. We have more work to do. #Pride2019 pic.twitter.com/hMdJ77jL4P
