Gay Village, LGBTQ+ neighborhood in Ville-Marie, Montreal, Canada.
Rainbow pillars mark the entrance of Beaudry Metro station, while Saint Catherine Street features colorful decorations and outdoor installations throughout the district.
The district grew from a working-class area into North America's largest gay village during the 1980s when new establishments opened along Saint Catherine Street East.
Montreal Pride Festival brings thousands of visitors to the neighborhood each year, featuring performances, parades, and community gatherings across multiple venues.
The area extends from Saint Hubert Street to De Lorimier Avenue, with Beaudry and Papineau metro stations providing direct access to its main attractions.
During summer months, Saint Catherine Street transforms into a pedestrian zone where restaurants extend their terraces under suspended pink ball decorations.
