The Most Unique and Colourful Street Party in Copenhagen
“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 perfect time for festivals and street parties in Copenhagen.
One of the best and most colourful festivals is Copenhagen Pride, which was voted The Best Street Party 2010 by the readers of the highly respected city guide AOK.
The party culminates in a free open-air concert on Saturday 20 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 2010. Copenhagen Pride is a four day festival high-lighting lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual culture with open-air films, concerts, debates, parties and of course the popular parade through the city.
Copenhagen Pride invites the entire city to celebrate diversity on 17-20 August 2011.
