The hugely popular Austin LGBTQ Pride celebration takes place over 10 days in early to mid-August, with the biggest events taking place over the event’s final weekend (August 13–14, 2022), including the Annual Austin Gay Pride Festival and March on Saturday, August 13. It’s the optimal getaway for fans of indie music clubs, single-origin coffee roasters, and painstakingly curated lifestyle boutiques, but at its historic and still thriving heart, this youthful burg remains fun-loving and easy-going, with endless diversions, from kayaking on downtown’s Lady Bird Lake to food-truck-hopping in East Austin.Ĭheck out the handy website of Visit Austin for more trip-planning advice and details, and also take a look at the organization’s extremely helpful LGBTQ Travel section. Famously progressive and fast-fast-growing Austin offers urbane, hipster-approved restaurants, bars, and boutiques and proximity to the picturesque Hill Country.
