Thousands of people took to the streets Sunday to celebrate the return of the in-person Pride parade.
Wearing bright colours and waving rainbow flags, Winnipeggers gathered at the Manitoba legislature building.
Organizers say gathering at the legislature is is a nod to the first Pride rally in 1987.
They then marched in the parade along Memorial Boulevard, Portage Avenue and Main Street on a bright, sunny day in the city.
Several large floats decorated in rainbow colours made their way through the downtown parade route.
Road closures were in effect from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Marchers then made their way to the Forks, where the festivities continued with music and entertainment.
