Rio de Janeiro Pride Parade

Rio de Janeiro's pride parade on Copacabana Beach is one of the most visually spectacular LGBTQ+ events on earth — a beachfront march along one of the world's most famous waterfronts, watched by millions. The Carnival-infused creativity of Rio's queer community produces floats and costumes of extraordinary imagination, and the warm November weather means the party spills onto the sand both before and after the parade. Rio's gay scene — centred on Ipanema's Farme de Amoedo beach — is world-class year-round.
