Tel Aviv Postpones Pride Parade 2020

Tel Aviv Pride Month takes place every year in June, with a surge of gay-friendly events taking place across the city. The Tel Aviv Pride Parade has become the largest one among all in the Middle East. In light of the Corona pandemic, the four largest pride parades in Israel- Haifa, Jerusalem, Be’er Sheva and Tel Aviv-Yafo jointly decided to postpone their prospective events, hoping they will be able to take place later in the summer of 2020. Pride month, June 2020, will still be celebrated through virtual events.

Tel Aviv’s Pride Parade is widely recognized as one of the world’s leading LGBTQ events, attracting thousands of visitors from around the globe. Last year's parade attracted over 250,000 people from around the world and Tel Aviv was voted by Logo TV as The Best International City for Pride, and by the Independent as one of the Best Holiday Destinations for LGBT Travellers.
