Toronto Pride Photos: How Canada's Biggest City Showed Its WorldPride (PHOTOS)

LOOK: How Toronto Showed Its Pride
The Huffington Post Canada

This year's Pride festival in Toronto was the biggest ever, with visitors from all over the world in the city for WorldPride 2014. But while the parades, mass wedding, dance parties and speakers will certainly boost the city's profile, Toronto also showed off in several simpler ways.

First of all, the city was awash in rainbows.

Musician k.d. Lang showed off her rainbow trainers.

Several Toronto politicians were part of the party too. Mayoral candidates Olivia Chow and John Tory both marched in the parade on Sunday, as did a number of Toronto councillors.

We can't forget those wonderful rainbow crosswalks, which will stay on the streets indefinitely.

Then, to cap it off, a rainbow appeared in the sky Sunday night after a rainstorm just as the festivities came to an end.

Happy WorldPride!
