Description
Mykonos Pride is an annual LGBTQ+ celebration held on the picturesque Greek island of Mykonos, known for its vibrant nightlife, beautiful beaches, and cosmopolitan atmosphere. The event typically takes place during the summer months, often in June, aligning with global Pride celebrations. Mykonos Pride offers a week of festivities, including colourful parades, live music, drag performances, art exhibitions, and parties at iconic locations such as Mykonos Town and its famous beaches. The island’s relaxed and open-minded culture makes it a perfect setting for an inclusive and celebratory environment.
While the majority of the events during Mykonos Pride are free to attend, some exclusive parties and private performances may require tickets, which can range from a moderate to premium price depending on the event. The tickets for these events can usually be purchased in advance online or at select venues around the island. Additionally, bars, clubs, and restaurants often host themed nights throughout the week, and reservations are recommended for high-demand spots. The Pride parade, a central highlight of the celebration, is open to all, without the need for tickets, and anyone can join in the festivities as they march through the streets of Mykonos Town.
Mykonos Pride is generally welcoming to all ages, but many of the evening parties and events cater to an adult crowd, with a typical age restriction of 18+ for certain venues. Families with children can also enjoy daytime activities such as cultural tours and outdoor events. The event is an opportunity not only to celebrate LGBTQ+ rights and visibility but also to enjoy the unique charm of Mykonos, blending fun and activism in a beautiful and welcoming destination. It's important to book accommodations and activities well in advance, as the island can become quite busy during the Pride week.
