Montréal, Quebec/CMEDIA: Montreal’s Samuel De Champlain Bridge will reportedly glow in the colors of the rainbow this evening, from sunset to 10 p.m. to mark the closing of the Montréal Pride Festival.

Bringing together lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and two-spirit (LGBTQ2S+) people and allies during the highly colorful festivities, the Montréal Pride Festival celebrates the contributions of Canada’s LGBTQ2S+ communities.

After the conclusion of the special illumination at 10 p.m., the architectural lighting will return to the blue and green illumination used during the birds’ migratory period, which runs until November 20.

“Pride is also an opportunity to highlight the diversity, resilience, and spirit of people who fought—and still fight—for greater inclusiveness and equality”, said a news release.
