Have fun with the many shows put on by DJ’s, Drag Queens and their carnival-like outfits, music concerts and much more.Arrive early and enjoy the beach while warming up.

Even though the meeting point is at 1 PM, the parade doesn’t start to move before 2 or 3 PM. The parade will take place at the Avenida Atlantica along Copacabana Beach and will end at Posto 2, in the proximities of the famed Copacabana Palace Hotel. It’s right in the confluence of Ipanema and Copacabana.

Thousands of people attend-most of them half-naked-and the festivities also include shows by drag queens and DJs. So, take the opportunity to get a tan while partying. The parade is 1,3 miles long (2,1 kms.) and it’s all along the Copacabana Beach. The highlight of the festival is the Gay Pride March. (the dates have moved over the past few years to early September).

A pride parade that sizzles in September – Rio!
