PRIDE SEASON IS NEARLY OVER SO WHAT TO DO NOW?
Attending an LGBTQ+ festival or event is a great way to celebrate as a community even outside of Pride season. IGLTA has compiled a global calendar of LGBTQ+ festivals and events around the world. The events on this list include a variety of festivals and gatherings with different themes ranging from music, art, food, sports, dance, advocacy, comedy and more. While each event may be different, the common thread that binds all these together events is the celebration within the LGBTQ+ community.

LGBTQ+ TRAVEL GUIDE TO PUERTO RICO
The island of Puerto Rico always greets its guests with ¡bienvenidos! This unrivaled Caribbean getaway has a vibrant culture, year-round warm weather, spectacular scenery, and dozens of one-of-a-kind experiences. Since Puerto Rico is an unincorporated territory of the United States, American citizens don't need a passport to visit. And Puerto Ricans—who culturally are a fusion of Spaniards, Africans, and Taínos—are welcoming, friendly, and strive to make everyone's visit memorable. They don't just invite you to the party; they want you to dance. The island enjoys many of the same rights as the mainland and embraces diversity. That's why this archipelago is the top gay-friendly destination in the Caribbean, boasting a lively LGBTQ+ scene with plenty of activities and attractions throughout the island, including two annual Pride parades.
