The 44th Boston Pride Parade and Festival drew a record 400,000 people. More than 25,000 people in 200 groups marched in the annual parade, which was led by Gov. Deval Patrick and Mayor Martin Walsh and ended with a festival on City Hall Plaza.
“There’s been a huge evolution in the kind of folks attending,” Boston Pride president Sylvain Bruni told The Boston Globe. “There are more families, more babies, more couples, more youth, more straight people — it’s much more diverse than it’s ever been.”
