"São Paulo has held some of the world’s largest gay pride parades. The festival comes in a close second place as the city’s most popular event after the Brazilian Grand Prix. In the run-up, there are many LGBTQ+ friendly club nights, street markets, and parties held throughout the city. The parade itself, held on Avenida Paulista, is jam-packed with themed floats, live music, and people celebrating the LGBTQ+ community. It’s especially important to book accommodation in advance if you are planning on visiting in June as many hotels and hostels offer themed package deals, and they get snapped up fast.When: June" - MATADOR_NETWORK
