Rio de Janeiro Gay Pride Parade - October 10, 2010
Itinerary and Map of the Parade

The meeting point is at the Posto 6 which is located near the Forte de Copacabana, or if your not familiar with it, close to the Rio Sofitel Hotel. It's right in the confluence of Ipanema and Copacabana. 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. Even though the meeting point is at 1 PM, the parade doesn’t start to move before 2 or 3 PM.

TIP:  Don’t miss the warm-up. Get there as early as you can. 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.

How long is the Parade?

The parade is 1,3 miles long (2,1 kms.) and it's all along the Copacabana Beach. So, take the opportunity to get a tan while partying.
