Also: note that this list is mostly geared toward those gay pride festivals in traditionally LGBT-friendly destinations! Summertime Travel Packing Essentials for Gay Pride Going to Tel Aviv for gay pride? You’ll want a swimsuit (preferably skimpy). Of course what you pack depends on the destination as well. To manage all that fun, I’ve put together a helpful guide on what to pack when traveling for gay pride. Activities and things to do are likely different than on any other normal weekend, but that’s half the fun. You get to see a completely different side of the city that otherwise might not be seen. I don’t know about you, but traveling for gay pride events in foreign cities is one of my favorite ways to experience a new destination.
Still to come are big pride festivals and LGBT parties and festivals in Stockholm Pride, Amsterdam’s Milkshake Festival, Manchester Pride (the UK’s largest pride festival), Chicago’s Northalstead Market Days, Dallas Pride and even the *brand* new Caribbean Pride (in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic). June has come and gone but that doesn’t mean the pride festivals have stopped. It’s officially the start of the summer season with festivals and pride events in just about every major city. I’ve just returned from one week in Barcelona and this weekend is Berlin’s annual Christopher Street Day pride parade.
