What’s hot during Tel Aviv Pride Week 2024?

Although Hilton beach is pretty gay all year long, it gets an extra coating during Pride Week. Of course, the number of diversity flags multiplies - the whole city is embellished with rainbow flags by the municipality every year on the 1st of June - but so do the local and international visitors. And with DJ sets every afternoon it for sure becomes the place to see and to be seen!

Tel Aviv’s International LGBTQ Film Festival takes place twice a year at the Tel Aviv Cinematheque: one main event in November and a shorter version during Pride Month. The festival offers screenings and meetings with local as well as foreign filmmakers, panel discussions, and special events. The program aspires to enrich and empower tolerance and pluralism in Israeli society, not shying away from topics like the place of queers within religious society, the Arab-Israeli conflict, and intercultural relationships.

Finding a party during Pride Week won’t be as difficult as choosing one! But maybe you don’t have to :) The usual gay bars and venues like Shpagat, Layla, or Phi will be offering (street) parties every day. Whereas almost any club will become a little gay that week, so much that whether you’re into techno, hip-hop, drag shows, or karaoke, you’ll be sure to find your kink. Or if you want to keep it simple buy the Forever pass and follow their line-up of 5 parties in a row, most of them at HaOman 17 and the bigger “official” Pride Party at Tel Aviv Expo.

A trip to Tel Aviv Pride 2024 cannot be complete without visiting the highlights of this magnificent land. So, when you’ll need a break from all the partying, hop on our Gay Bus! On our journey to Jerusalem, you’ll visit historical marvels and spiritual landmarks such as King David’s Tomb and the Room of the Last Supper, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, Via Dolorosa, the recently restored Roman Cardo, and, of course, the sacred Western Wall. Afterward, escape to the world’s largest natural spa: the Dead Sea! On our way, we’ll stop at the mountain fortress of Masada, built in 30 BCE by King Herod. Right there, overlooking the biblical Moab Mountains, in the middle of the desert, discover the story of one the greatest Jewish symbols of hope and pride. And if you have the time, don’t miss out on our trip to the neighboring crown jewel of Petra.

Just when you think the dust is settling down, on the day following the Parade comes what most Israelis consider the highlight of Pride: the Mega closing party with the one and only DJ Offer Nissim! His 5 hours DJ-set will set the whole HaYarkon Park on fire. Be ready for official remixes of international stars, exciting live performances with Israeli singers, a spectacular light show and the hottest dancers of the Middle-East!
