Taiwan Pride
Taiwan Pride (Taiwan LGBT Pride) is the largest Pride event in Asia — a parade through central Taipei that draws over 130,000 participants, reflecting Taiwan's status as the most LGBTQ+-progressive society in Asia and the first territory in Asia to legalise same-sex marriage (2019).
The Parade
The parade marches through Taipei's Ketagalan Boulevard and surrounding streets in late October, with a festival at the boulevard's main stage. The atmosphere is joyful, creative, and deeply community-rooted — Taiwanese Pride is celebrated with genuine warmth and pride.
Taipei in October
Late October in Taipei is ideal — temperatures around 25°C, lower humidity than summer, and the city's night markets, temples, and mountain hiking all in prime condition. Pride weekend fills the city with visitors from across Asia and beyond.
