The São Paulo LGBTQ+ Pride Parade is set to take place on Sunday, June 22, 2025. The event will begin at the Museum of Art of São Paulo (MASP) and proceed along Avenida Paulista, continuing through Rua da Consolação and concluding at Praça Roosevelt. Local officials anticipate around two million participants in the parade and related events.
Participants are advised to remain vigilant for their safety. In case of emergencies, they should seek assistance from police officers, designated volunteers or organizers, ambulances, or medical tents located along the parade route. It is important to stay aware of one's surroundings and have a plan in place for emergencies.
Authorities advise against resisting robbery attempts physically and recommend not accepting food or drinks from strangers while keeping an eye on personal beverages.
