Description: An annual Sao Paulo mainstay since 1997, the Gay Parade is the city’s second biggest event, closing in on Formula One racing. Millions of people from around the world flock to the massive parade that begins at the Museum de Arte de Sao Paulo and continues through the city for 2.6 miles. In a testament to the open-mindedness and tolerance of the Brazilian culture, the government of Sao Paulo is the largest booster of the parade, often filling trio eletricos, or parade floats, with high-profile politicians.
