Europride is an international lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender pride event that is hosted by a different European city each year. The host city is usually one with an established gay pride event, or one which has a significant LGBT community. For up to a fortnight, numerous sporting and artistic events are staged throughout the city. The event usually culminates in a weekend, with a traditional Mardi Gras-style pride parade, live music, special club nights and an AIDS memorial vigil.
