This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. There are two accessible viewing areas, one located at Denman and Haro Street and the other south of Beach Avenue, between Nicola and Broughton streets. There will be plenty of crowd interaction and everyone is friendly so there’s no need to be shy. If you’re in the West End, a good place to watch is anywhere along the parade route. Once the parade starts, the parade heads west from Thurlow and Robson, before turning south onto Denman and then wrapping around onto Beach Avenue. The parade floats begin staging early in the morning along Thurlow, if you want to take a walk and check out some of the floats before they start moving. The Pride Parade takes place in downtown Vancouver’s West End neighbourhood. Photo by Nick Procaylo / PNG Where does the parade take place and how can I watch it?
