The parade route begins at Church and Bloor streets, with participants heading over to Yonge Street and then turning south, winding up their journey at Dundas Street in Toronto's downtown core.
The temperature is already in the mid-20s as of the midday. With humidity, it feels even warmer. There is a chance of showers later this afternoon, as well as the risk of a thunderstorm.
With weather like this, Pride Toronto was tweeting some valuable advice to the people lining the streets on Sunday afternoon:
Toronto has had an annual Pride parade for more than three decades, but this year, it’s an even bigger party than usual due to the fact that the city is hosting World Pride for the first time.
