Wander through this floral celebration of PRIDE in Yaletown (PHOTOS)
This Pride Week, take a walk through Vancouver’s Yaletown neighbourhood to bask in the sun and smell the flowers of PRIDE.
For the first time ever, Fleurs de Villes, which is French for “flowers of the cities,” has serenaded the streets with stunning and immersive floral displays to celebrate joy and inclusivity.
With 17 pop-ups in total, the floral installations will be up from July 27 to August 1 as part of Yaletown Pride — an arts and culture event set to complement Vancouver’s annual Pride Week, presented by the Yaletown Business Improvement Association (YBIA).
