Divers/Cité
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Divers/Cité is the gay pride festival of Montreal.
The name is intended to be pronounced in French, and is pronounced exactly the same as diversité (diversity). The name could also be interpreted as "diverse city", although cité is much less commonly used than the usual French word for city, ville.
The Divers/Cité is a very large event; in 2002, organizers estimated it drew 1.4 million people (compare with Montreal's official population of 1.8 million), with the Pride parade drawing a crowd of 600,000 (see [1], although these numbers are disputed).
The current managing director of Divers/Cité is Ian Abinakle.
Since 2005 the pride parades have been held at night.
In 2006, Divers/Cite coincided with the 2006 World Outgames in Montreal.
