Pride Month: Destinations to Celebrate

Pride Month is well underway. Many LGBTQ+ parades have already taken place worldwide. Others are coming up. And there are many global destinations you can visit now where celebrating Pride is possible on a daily basis.

We’ve got a list of cities you can visit to participate in Pride events and others you can spend time at for a happy Pride Month.

Upcoming Pride Events

Dublin Pride Festival, June 20-25

The Dublin Pride Festival is Ireland’s biggest LGBTQ event and will span four days. The highlight will be the parade and march, which will take place on June 24. This year is the event’s 40th anniversary.

The motto is “Protest. Remember. Celebrate.” It’s a fitting slogan because Dublin Pride’s main event is considered both a march and a parade: it’s about celebrating Pride and marching for the community’s rights.

Merrion Square is where the festival will take place. Visit to hear community speeches and musical performances. Admittance is free. So, book your flights to Dublin now and enjoy Pride the Irish Way!

New York Pride, June 25

The New York Pride March will take place on June 25. This year’s theme is “Strength in Solidarity,” reminding visitors of the pride movement’s protest roots. This is the largest pride parade, with up to 5,000,000 people attending.

Other events are scheduled in the city starting on June 17. However, the main event is the march, followed by Pridefest on 4th Avenue and Pride Island at the Brooklyn Army Terminal. Christina Aguilera will be the headliner of Pride Island. But you’ll need to buy tickets to attend the musical performance.

We currently have many last-minute flight deals to New York, so how about joining the world’s biggest pride celebration?

Mexico City Gay Pride, June 24

The pride parade in Mexico City is one of the largest in Latin America. Over 250,000 visitors attend every year. There will be other events in the city leading up to the parade, so plan to arrive a few days before and spend time in Mexico’s capital. Because the city is located in North America, you can always find great deals on flights to Mexico City.

Mexico City is the country’s most tolerant city when it comes to LGBT rights and acceptance. In fact, the city started issuing same-sex marriage licenses in 2010!

San Francisco Pride, June 25

San Francisco has one of the top Pride Parades in the United States. It is part of a two-day festival, so June 24-25 is a perfect time to visit San Francisco for a happy pride. This year’s theme is “Looking Back and Moving Forward.”

San Francisco Pride’s mission is about creating a space where everyone can come together to celebrate, honor, and uplift the diversity of the LGBTQ+ community, which is in line with the welcoming spirit of the city of San Francisco.

Top LGBTQ+ Locations Worldwide

Provincetown, Massachusetts

Located at the edge of Cape Cod, Provincetown is probably the queer capital of the US. The entire city is very open to the LGBTQ+ community, allowing people to be free to show their true selves. There couldn’t be a better place to celebrate Pride Month.

If you’re on the East Coast, go to the city. And if you’re not, how about taking a flight to Boston for the weekend and driving to Provincetown? With the availability of cheap domestic flights to Boston, there couldn’t be a better location to spend a few days celebrating.

Bangkok, Thailand

Bangkok is Asia’s top gay-friendly destination. Visit the queer quarter on Silom Road and celebrate Pride in Thai style. It was recently announced that Bangkok will be hosting World Pride 2028, so Pride Month is especially festive this year.

There are many gay-friendly clubs on Soi 2 and pubs and restaurants on Soi 4. These areas have more international clientele. If you want somewhere with more locals, then the Saphan Kwai and Sukhumvit areas are where you want to visit.

ASAP Tickets has contracts with many airlines flying to Thailand, so reach out for affordable flights to Bangkok!

Montreal, Canada

Montreal is Canada’s intercultural hub. The city speaks English and French, its old quarters are reminiscent of Europe, and thousands of global students are studying at its top universities.

It’s also got a great Gay Village with top bars, clubs, and a supreme all-around LGBTQ+ vibe. Locals love spending time in the village because of its great venues and friendly atmosphere. Like the rest of Canada, Montreal is open to the LGBTQ+ community and proudly celebrates Pride! By the way, the city’s Pride Parade will take place on August 13. The city will kick off its celebrations on August 10, so there will be ten days to celebrate. So, if you can’t make it out to celebrate in June, you can plan to go to Montreal in August!

Many last-minute flight deals to Montreal are available now, so don’t hesitate to call a travel agent to book flights.

Amsterdam, the Netherlands

Amsterdam is known for the Red-Light District, its coffee shops, and being one of Europe’s most open-minded cities. This open-mindedness has made it one of the cities that is beloved by the LGBTQ+ community. In fact, some people call Amsterdam the LGBT capital of Europe, so there couldn’t be a better place to celebrate Pride Month.

Amsterdam has many LGBT-friendly bars, clubs, hotels, and many pride events happening at all of them. So, book your flights to Amsterdam and celebrate Pride!

Oslo, Norway

Like Amsterdam, Oslo is another city that is tolerant of all lifestyles. So if you’ve always wanted to visit the Scandinavian city, then now’s a great time. The nightlife here is excellent, the atmosphere is open and liberal, and the city has fantastic neighborhoods to explore.

With same-sex marriage being legal in Norway since 2009, Oslo is one of the top European destinations for celebrating Pride. And June is a perfect time to visit the city with the warm weather finally in place. Get your flight tickets to Oslo and discover this LGBT-friendly city!

Conclusion

Pride month began as a protest following the Stonewall riots but has become a global movement celebrating the community. We’ve listed some of our favorite destinations to celebrate Pride, but we could come up with another list that would include Sao Paolo, Berlin, Madrid, Buenos Aires, etc.

This is only meant as a guide to help you plan your Pride celebration. What unites the cities on our list is that all the destinations are LGBT-friendly and can be visited outside Pride month. However, now is a great time with all the different events in place. Call us 24/7 for a free quote for any of these destinations at +1-(844)-300-7983 or request a quote online.
