Tel Aviv Pride 2022


Tel Aviv is as proud as ever and the city is ready to welcome back its LGTBQIA+ tourists for the iconic Pride celebrations this month

TEL AVIV – Pride month has officially started, and celebrations are in full swing ahead of the iconic Tel Aviv Pride Parade on June 10! With parties, exhibitions, performances and educational programs happening around the city throughout the month, every single Tel Avivian is as proud as ever!  Flags have been installed around the city and its suburbs while the bicycle lanes are ready to taste the rainbow!

For the first time ever, Tel Aviv Global and Tourism will have its own Tel Aviv Tech float at the parade, simultaneously displaying its pride and highlighting its efforts in the Tech community, both pillars of the Tel Avivian society.

The Brut by Brown Hotels is the official Hotel for Tel Aviv Pride 2022 and is not afraid to show off its colours!  From the day the first hotel was opened in 2010, and every day since, the brand has proudly welcomed all members and colours of the rainbow!  Autotel has painted its fleet of rentable cars in the colours of the rainbow to ensure a proud ride to and from all Pride events in the city.  Hilton Beach, also known as the Pride Beach, has dusted off it flags, refreshed its coloured tents, and added giant pride letters inviting everyone to enjoy its famed beach parties in comfort and style.

On Friday June 10, the festivities for the Pride Parade will begin at 10AM, followed by the parade at 12PM.  The parade route will end at HaYarkon Park for a huge celebration party with two main stages. The Pride stage will include performances by Eurovision semi-finalist Michael Ben David renowned local artists like Yasmin Moallem, Harel Skaat, Zehava Ben, Raviv Kaner, Nasrin Kadri, Valerie Hamati and many more.  The Love stage, in partnership with Rapyd, will include world-renowned DJs and as a first in Israel an exclusive performance by Australian rapper Iggy Azalea.

Ron Huldai, Mayor of Tel Aviv-Yafo: "Tel Aviv-Yafo is a home for every minority group or community that resides here and will continue to march with the LGBTQ+ community in continuation of their fight for equal rights.  Pride events in Tel Aviv-Yafo are a longstanding tradition centred on messages of equality and acceptance.  Over the years, the community in the city, has managed to change its reality to become a strong, unique and integral part of society.  Proud culture has developed many traditions over the years, and these will be reflected in this year's pride events, which will symbolize the "Return to Pride" and allow hundreds of thousands of revellers to participate in a display of tolerance, inclusivity, diversity and acceptance of one another."
