Pride Around The World Calendar 2003
Compiled by Skeeter Sanders
Can’t get enough Pride? Got the wanderlust? Then pack up your bags and celebrate under the Rainbow Flag – which, by the way, turns 25 this year – anywhere in the world you choose to go. Here is a list of Pride festivals and parades that will take place around the world in 2003 (and even a few in 2004 for those who like to plan far ahead of time).
Events are arranged in alphabetical order by city. Multi-day Pride celebrations with parades are listed with the parade date in parentheses. Many thanks to InterPride for providing the source material for this year’s calendar.
