Pride 2027: dates and destinations

Pride season runs all year if you follow the sun: Sydney and Cape Town in late summer down south, Gran Canaria in May, the big European cities from June to August, then winter pride back in the Canaries.

Most organisers announce dates a few months ahead, so many 2027 dates are still TBC. We show the usual timing until a date is confirmed and update this calendar as dates come in. Each event shows the country's LGBT+ rating from our map.

Planning a pride trip

Book flights and hotels as soon as dates are confirmed. Maspalomas and Madrid sell out months ahead.
Buy your own drinks and keep them in sight. GHB spiking is the FCDO's main warning for big parties.
Check the FCDO page for the country, especially outside Western Europe.
Travel insurance should cover the dates of the event, including any cancellation.
