“Copenhagen Pride is one of the most colourful and unique street parties in Copenhagen”, writes the popular city guide, AOK. The parade and the free open air-concert take place a leisurely ten minute stroll from Avenue Hotel.
August is the month for festivals and street parties in Copenhagen.
One of the best and most colourful festivals is Copenhagen Pride, which has been voted The Best Street Party by the readers of the highly respected city guide AOK.
The party culminates on Saturday 18 August at 4 pm at the City Hall Square.
Colourful and Unique Party
“It is one of the most colourful and unique parties in Copenhagen,” wrote the city guide AOK as it awarded Copenhagen Pride the title as The Best Street Party in Copenhagen. Copenhagen Pride is a six day festival high-lighting lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual culture with free movie screenings, concerts, debates, parties and of course the popular parade through the city.
Copenhagen Pride invites the entire city to celebrate diversity on 14-19 August 2012.
