A note on who's included

Most of the events we found are Pride festivals and general LGBTQ+ gatherings, which welcome many parts of the community. Events built specifically for lesbian and queer women, trans travelers, or nonbinary travelers were harder to find in this month's listings. If you know of one, tell us and we'll feature it in a future roundup.

Tips for planning around events

Book early. Hotels in popular event cities fill fast, and prices rise as dates approach.

Confirm the details. Dates, schedules, and venues can change, so check the official event site before you book.

Look beyond the main event. Smaller community gatherings, film nights, and local meetups often give you a warmer and more relaxed feel for a city.

Planning a trip around an event? That's what we're building Everyone.travel to help with: hosts and partners chosen for genuine welcome, across every travel style.
