Rio de Janeiro Pride

Rio Pride takes place on Copacabana Beach each November, one of the world's most spectacular settings for a pride event. The beach parade draws millions of revellers to the famous waterfront, and Carnival-infused Brazilian creativity gives the floats and costumes a wild, inventive energy. Rio's queer scene, centred around Ipanema and Leblon, is vibrant year-round, but pride season brings something extraordinary.
