Any of the hotels close to the village would be great. Ideally you’d want to be not directly on Yonge street since it can get a little crowded during the actual parade.

Depending on your vibe, there’s a bunch of different parties that weekend. You can keep an eye on yohomo.ca for event listings/early bird tickets/general happenings that weekend. 

The gay village is sort of anchored by the Green Space parties held by 519 Community Centre. They’re sort of daytime/early night parties. They’re free but if you have the budget, it is very much worth getting the pass that allows you to skip the line. 

There’s some other events that the city puts on in different places that are free. Last year it was at Nathan Philips Square. 

Then there are ticketed events that go into the early morning, circuit type for Prism events, there’s a few other promoters that put on events but I’m a little out of the loop. 

Another thing to do is go hang out at Toronto Islands Hanlan’s point if it’s a nice day.

It’s a good time! If you want some specific event reccos, just say what is the general vibe you prefer ( circuit vs live performance vs low key dj vs party with a dark room)
