Sao Paulo Gay Parade 2008
On May 25th, São Paulo will host the 12th edition of the São Paulo Gay Parade. In each of the last three years, a crowd of approximately 3.5 million people followed the parade, making it the biggest in the world.
This year, the organization announced the presence of 22 electric trios (large trucks with a band playing on top) who will perform for more than seven hours straight; there will be over 1,000 police forces, to guarantee peace all along the 3.5 km of the parade.
The São Paulo Gay Parade starts right in front of MASP, the Museum of Art, at Avenida Paulista; the parade moves along Avenida da Consolação as far as the Praça Roosevelt.
