In honor of Pride month, here’s a list of the world’s best pride parades that are definitely worth a visit if you can find yourself in those cities in June.
Berlin, Germany
If there’s one thing Berlin is good at, it’s being honest about the history and politics of some of the difficult things that the city has seen. And pride, or as they call it, Christopher Street Day, is no different, with protesters and activists taking charge.
São Paulo, Brazil
The Brazilians sure know how to party, and they know how to celebrate Pride, too, with their parade having been named the biggest in the world on more than one occasion.
Madrid, Spain
Madrid’s Pride parade is known as the largest one in all of Europe, which is saying something because there are some pretty huge Pride parades in that continent. Taking place at the beginning of July, it’s normal for more than a million people to show up.
Tel Aviv, Israel
Take Pride and put it on the beach and you’ve got Tel Aviv’s Pride parade, the only successful Pride parade that takes place every year in the Middle East. Shirts are optional.
Johannesburg, South Africa
Africa’s largest Pride parade, Joburg’s Pride actually takes place every year in October—southern hemisphere anyone?
