It was another hot summer Saturday, July 20, in Burnaby, but that didn't stop the community from spreading joy.
Hundreds of local and Metro Vancouver residents took in the seventh annual Burnaby Pride Festival at Bonsor Field (6550 Bonsor Ave.).
Visitors, both two- and four-legged, dressed up to the nines while mingling with other revellers and taking in the sights and sounds of the 2024 installment.
The six-hour event celebrated "the diversity of our local 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, families and supporters," the festival's website stated.
"Thank you Burnaby for showing up and sharing so much love with us," organizers added in a social media post.
A full line-up of performances followed opening remarks at around 1 p.m. on Saturday.
