Curaçao Pride Returns Sept. 24-28

EDGE READ TIME: 2 MIN.

Cura�ao continues to welcome LGBT visitors with a "live and let live" philosophy. In this spirit, the island will launch its second annual Pride event taking place September 24 - 28, 2014. Expected to be one of the biggest LGBT celebrations in the region, Cura�ao Pride will feature exclusive theme parties, a movie marathon, honoring of LGBT icons and allies, and parades.

Home to more than 35 captivating beaches, a diverse heritage spanning 55 different cultures, and unrivaled European architecture, Cura�ao remains one of the most exceptional islands of the region. Its capital city, Willemstad - a UNESCO World Heritage site - with its iconic colorful Handelskade backdrop and roster of museums, monuments, flavorful restaurants and shopping, was selected in 2013 as one of the Top 5 Cities in the Caribbean by Conde Nast Traveler's readers.

Cura�ao's natural beauty, pristine diving and snorkeling sites are a favorite with divers and adventure seekers, and its beaches and idyllic weather, situated on the outer fringes of the Hurricane Belt, has won it further accolade and recognition.
