The North American West Coast from Los angeles all the way up to Vancouver the cities have a strong sense of Pride amongst the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) community. It seems the further north you go the nicer the locals and visitors alike seem to be in these circles so it’s no shock that Vancouver rivals San Francisco for hottest city to visit for Pride Week.

Vancouver isn’t just limiting Pride to one week, or even one month. The events for the community stretch from early June until late August. Definitely a plus when booking one of the Vancouver hotels around the West End and Commercial Drive areas.

Commercial Drive is locally known as “The Drive” by members of the LGBT community of Vancouver and is a popular neighborhood for Vancouver’s thriving lesbian community. Filled with reasonably priced eateries, shops and other services it’s not hard to see why people from all over the city come by car or transit to hang out here.

While The Drive is a bustling area for shopping and socializing the West End is considered more of a residential neighborhood located in the heart of downtown Vancouver. The enter of the district scene is the length of Davie Street known as Davie Village . This area is equally as attractive for visitors into mingling with the locals with a variety of cafes, bistros, pubs, clubs and shops.
