Where to Watch the Parade

Choose your position according to whether you want to see the gathering, watch the procession or spend the evening near the finish. These recommendations follow the traditional route; check the organisers’ final announcement before heading out.

• Plaza de Mayo: Best for the build-up, community stalls and meeting friends before departure. Arrive before the procession assembles, then move towards the Avenida de Mayo exit to watch the trucks leave.
• Avenida de Mayo around Piedras and Chacabuco: Our pick for a first visit. Watch the march along the avenue, then join a group or follow a music truck towards Congreso.
• Avenida de Mayo near Avenida 9 de Julio: Central meeting area with approaches from surrounding streets. Find a position along the avenue rather than standing in the crossing, where people moving through can obstruct your view.
• Plaza del Congreso: Great for catching the closing shows. Crowds build as marchers arrive, so agree on a meeting point away from the centre of the square.
• Upgrade your Buenos Aires Pride experience with a stay at the Travel Proud certified Casa Lucía, a Melia Hotel, with a lux vibe and amazing location in the Mihanovich tower; just a quick ride to Centro/Recoleta.

History of Buenos Aires Pride

The first march in 1992, led by Carlos Jáuregui, attracted 300 people, many wearing masks to conceal their identity. More than twenty five years later, Buenos Aires has become the LGBT destination of choice in Latin America and the annual Orgullo (pride) parade attracts more than 100,000 people from all over the world.

The city’s open-mindedness and cosmopolitan culture, together with Argentina’s pioneering equal marriage and gender identity laws have established Buenos Aires as the top destination for LGBT tourism in Latin America, and November is a great month to visit with the Asterisco film festival and the Queer Tango Festival also taking place in the city.
