Gay Events Manila

Manila Metro Pride is Asia’s first gay pride celebration since 1984. Over the years, it has expanded into a week-long celebration featuring a medley of events from parades and parties to cultural gatherings. At its core, Manila Pride champions equal rights and freedom from discrimination. The festivities include a vibrant march and a bustling street fair, and they continue into the late evening. Manila’s gay scene is eclectic, with districts from Makati to Quezon City offering everything from bustling nightclubs to intimate bars. Despite Malate’s historical significance as a gay hub, newer spots across the city continue to draw crowds, making bar hopping a favored pastime, even with the traffic.
