PrideHouse Toronto hosted three full weekends of parties during the Pan Am Games. Presenting an incredibly diverse lineup of acts — Brazilian DJ squad The Weekend, Ultra Naté, Drag Race superstar Adore Delano and NYC performance legend Joey Arias, among others — the park was alive with music and a relaxed, village vibe for most of July.
The games came to a close on July 26, 2015, and with that came a final weekend of parties such as Jazz in the Park and Cherry Bomb. Below are our favourite moments from the weekend. Here’s to more outdoor events in our fine city.
