If you’re planning to come to Sitges Pride in 2010, then you better start planning now. Its already busy in Sitges in July and this event is expected to attract thousands of visitors from across the world. The Circuit Festival in Barcelona attracted more than 50,000 visitors and Sitges was booked solid in August. Likewise, Barcelona Pride had more than 45,000 attendees.
Sitges expects record numbers. With parades, special concerts, pre-parties, beach parties and more to come, ensure that you get VIP treatment right from the very beginning. We will be launching our VIP packages shortly. For further information or to book your hotel or apartment contact vippridepackages@gaysitgesguide.com or use the contact form.
While you may have seen the earlier galleries of Pride featuring the Sitges float, we also had our cameras covering other floats at the event.
The guys were hot, the floats were amazing and the atmosphere was electric!
We’re still going through the photos with more than 2,500 taken, so those of you looking for shots of the cute Spiderman or the Man dressed only in Chains!!! will have to wait.
With an estimated 40,000 to 50,000 people attending and participating, the event has surpassed everyone’s expectations and bodes well for Sitges First Pride on July 9th to 11th 2010.
