This year will be the 14th annual gay pride parade in world famous copacabana beach, attracting an estimated 850,000. People from all over the world, and growing each year.

Here all are welcome to step foot on the famous Copacabana tyle walkway and party and celebrate the event. It is a weekend to remember as people start to gather and meet at ipanema beach the friday and saturday before the parade. Everybody mingles and has a great time during the day and then gather at night on the main block leaving the beach at many gay and lesbian bars, especially le' boy or le' girl at the ipanema end of copacabana, and also dama de ferro is quite popular along with many others to choose.

This all leads up to Sundays enormous parade, which starts at ther south end of the beach at post 6, next to Forte de Copacabana.

There are many floats to see lined up in the beach lane, which are all individually sponsored by select night clubs which blast there own music as many party and float -hop from one to another, as they slowly make there way north down the beach to ave. Princesa isabel, at the begining of leme.

Many people dress up for this event but most people are in everyday beach were or shorts and skirts.

The hotels are not as high priced as new years or carnival in the high season, so add extra days to explore the amazing sites with us that only rio has to offer.
