Taiwan lgbtq+Q+ Pride Parade 2024
- TBA
- Taipei
Taiwan is known for hosting one of the vibrant lgbtq+Q+ pride events in the world called the Taipei Pride Parade. This annual parade takes place in Taipei during either October or November. Draws a large crowd of participants and spectators from all corners of the globe.
The first Taipei Pride Parade was held in 2003 and since then it has grown both in size and significance. It has now become an event that symbolizes lgbtq+Q+ rights and visibility throughout Asia. The parade features floats, live music performances and participants donning flamboyant attire. Additionally there is a festival where attendees can indulge in a variety of delicious food, refreshing beverages and purchase lgbtq+Q+ themed merchandise from various vendors.
In addition to the Taipei Pride Parade Taiwan also hosts lgbtq+Q+ pride events across cities such as Kaohsiung, Taichung and Tainan. These events typically take place during the spring and summer months. Include parades, festivals and a range of activities for everyone to enjoy.
Taiwan has gained recognition for its progressive stance on lgbtq+Q+ rights. Notably it made history in 2019 by becoming the country in Asia to legalize same sex marriage. This groundbreaking decision not celebrated Taiwans lgbtq+Q+ community but also solidified its position as a leader in promoting awareness about lgbtq+Q+ rights within the region.
Get ready, for another Taiwan Pride Month this coming October!The Department of Information and Tourism under the Taipei City Government is excited to announce the Color Taipei" events. In addition to the Taiwan lgbtq+Q+ Pride Parade on October 28th and the Taipei International Rainbow Festival we have planned activities, for "2023 Color Taipei". These include the "Rainbow Sightseeing Buses" and a special "Rainbow Themed Trip". We warmly invite travelers to visit Taipei and join us in this vibrant celebration that highlights our citys lgbtq+Q+ friendly environment and diverse attributes.
