How to get to the SP 2026 LGBT+ Pride Parade?
The 30th edition of the São Paulo LGBT+ Pride Parade will take place this Sunday (7) at 10 am, on Av. Paulista, with a focus on LGBT+ representation within politics and the Parade's achievements in favor of community rights.
The theme of the edition is the electronic ballot box, which also celebrates 30 years of existence in 2026. The objective is to strengthen the exercise of democracy claimed, for so long, by the event, even yielding the new mascot "Votinho".
As in most LGBT+ Parades in SP, Av. Paulista will be the main stage, with the presence of big brands and musical attractions, such as Pabllo Vittar, Urias, Melody and Isma. Check out the official event route and how to get there:

The route
The dynamics of the event will follow the traditional corridor, starting from the top of the city towards the center.
-
Gathering (10am): The public will gather at the Pq reference point. Trianon / Vão do MASP.
-
Parade: the electric trios run along Avenida Paulista towards Consolação.
-
Descent: the procession turns and begins the descent onto Avenida da Consolação.
-
Closing: the event reaches its final point in Praça Roosevelt.
How to get there
Due to the closure of Av. Paulista and Av. da Consolação to car traffic, the parallel lanes must suffer from flow compensation. Therefore, public transport, especially the Metro, is the fastest and most recommended choice.
For those arriving at the Concentration (Pq Trianon / Vão do MASP)
-
Trianon-MASP Station (Line 2-Green): it is the closest metro station, disembarking practically at the concentration itself. But it is worth noting that the flow of passengers at the beginning and end of the event is quite intense.
-
Brigadeiro Station (Line 2-Green): an alternative with less proximity to the event, but which avoids the hustle and bustle of the nearest station. About a 10-minute walk to the concentration.
For those who are going to catch the parade on the move
-
Consolação / Paulista Station (Lines 2-Green and 4-Yellow): located at the intersection of Av. Paulista and Consolação, it is the ideal arrival point for those who want to intercept the trios midway, in the early afternoon.
For those who go straight to the closing (Praça Roosevelt)
-
Higienópolis-Mackenzie Station (Line 4-Yellow): located on Avenida da Consolação itself, facilitating access to the final section of the descent.
-
Republica Station (Lines 3-Red and 4-Yellow): is the best option for those who want to wait for closure at Praça Roosevelt or disembark near the dispersion.
Tip: buy Metro tickets (QR Code TOP or physical ticket) in advance to avoid queues at the station ticket offices.
Safety and traffic recommendations
For those who are not going to the event and need to travel around the expanded center of São Paulo, CET's recommendation is to avoid the vicinity of Paulista and Consolação from the early hours of Sunday morning. The main bus lines that cross these avenues will have their routes diverted.
For revelers who are going to enjoy the party, the standard safety guidelines for large street events remain active: avoid exposing cell phones and wallets in back pockets, prioritize the use of fanny packs or money bags facing the front of the body and stay hydrated throughout the journey.
