Associacao da Parada da Diversidade de Pernambuco (APDPE)

The Associação da Parada da Diversidade de Pernambuco (APDPE) is the community organisation behind Recife's official Pride, the Parada da Diversidade de Pernambuco, held each September. The parade runs along Avenida Boa Viagem by the beach, with cultural programming around Parque Dona Lindu, and draws large crowds from across the state. Outside Pride season the association does advocacy work for Pernambuco's LGBTQ+ population. It has no public office in our records, so use its social media channels for parade dates and contacts.
