There are a lot of different LGBT events going on during the summer months, and you might want to plan out a trip to some of the larger ones. If you’re thinking about moving soon, this can be a great way to see some potential new homes while having fun. Any gay or lesbian real estate agent will tell you that you need to get a feel for a city before you move there, and there’s nothing that will give you an idea of a place’s atmosphere than visiting it for several days, especially if you’re able to get out of the typical tourist areas and really explore the neighborhoods where you might live.
Here are just a few of the major summer LGBT events you might want to put on your calendar for attending next summer.
Pride Festivals – Many pride events are held in June, including two of the biggest: San Francisco Pride and New York Pride. There are few pride activities larger or more over the top than these two. San Francisco will hold their pride festival June 24-25, 2017, and New York will hold theirs on June 26th.
But just because LGBT Pride Month is over doesn’t mean the gay and lesbian communities call it a day. If you can’t make it to New York Pride but still want to dip your toe in the local gay culture, you can attend Hot!, a local performance festival. You’ll see plays, sketch comedies, and more by some of the hottest LGBT performers and writers in the business. The festival typically appears in July and runs until August, so keep an eye out!
If you want to check out Chicago, you can attend Chicago Pride in June of 2017. There are different events being held around the city at the same time as the event, so you can take the time to see a show and explore local neighborhoods.
Finally, a trip won’t be complete without checking out the finals of the International Gay and Lesbian Football Association. Soccer lovers (yes, it’s soccer, not American football) can check out the competition while also scoping out the city. For Chelsea v Liverpool Carabao Cup Final Tickets, check out the Football Ticket Pad.
Each of these areas allow you to participate in some outstanding pride events, while getting a feel for the local area to see if it would be someplace you would enjoy living.
