After much delibaration and ensuring no conflicts with either Barcelona or Madrid Pride, the 2012 dates for Sitges Pride have been announced. The event will take place from the Thursday the 5th of July to Monday the 9th of July.

The main parade will take place on Saturday the 7th of July. The Gay Village will once again form the backdrop of the 5 day’s of parties. Expect an even bigger line up of live acts and entertainment, more events, the return of an even bigger pool party and of course the Party in the Park…not to mention all of the events taking place in the gay bars, clubs and restaurants of the village.

Last year hotels were at 100% capacity so we would advise you to book your hotel now with us for the lowest rate guaranteed!

Seafront Apartments are always the first to become booked out in Sitges, so if you want a view of the parade, don’t delay and book now!

The closing party for Pride 2011 took place at Trailer rather than L’Atlantida due to The sudden downpour we experienced on Tuesday night.

Fortunately everyone was in good form and it was the perfect way for the new owners of Trailer to give us an unofficial opening party..

After the culmination of 5 days of partying hard, the crowd went crazy to the dance beats of Hector Noms in one of Sitges oldest and most popular venues.

The venue was packed from 2am until late with the L’Atlantida Dancers strutting their stuff in a new venue!

It was the perfect ending to an amazing Pride. Thank you to all that attended, helped, volunteered and contributed…. you all know who you are!

Monday night came alive to the sounds of the Jungle as Lady Diamond and her team of beautiful boys,girls and everything in between made their was on stage for the kick off of the Jungle Party at Route 66.

The first part of the show took place in the Paseo to rapturous applause!

The next part of the party took place at Route 66 on C.Bonaire.

The venue was full of hot guys from around the world….and the Tarzan that Lady Diamond had chosen especially, was very well appreciated!

From costumes, to songs to the entire show and the efforts made by all involved, it was probably one of the most enjoyable nights of the Pride so far..

You can check out the photos of Lady Diamond at Route 66 and on stage, on Gay Sitges Guide below.

Monday morning and Sitges was quite…after a very hectic Pride weekend..

But from about 11.30am, the boys started arriving at the Hotel Antemare..

The Hotel was the venue for the first ever Sitges Pool Party for Pride 2011..

Located just 5 minutes from the Gay Village in the leafy suburb of Vinyet, it was the perfect location for the Pool Party.

The entire pool area and the bar and restaurant were available exclusively to ticket holders of the event.

Guys from all around the world started to gather by the pool..

The chill out area upstairs along with the Jacuzzi were very popular.

The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly..

Soon the music got going and the pool began to fill with more than 200 guys attending the very first event.

Then it became a game of splash as people went tumbling into the pool..

A delicious buffet lunch was served poolside at 2pm…

We were then treated to a special show by ES Collection and Gabbi with special prizes and giveaways…

Then things began to get out of hand as everyone made their way into the pool..

The event was probably one of the most fun days of the pride…what better than chilling by the pool with new friends, great music and friendly bar staff..

Next year’s event will be an even bigger affair… so watch this space…

Sunday night’s Black Night at Route 66 was definitely a hot and sexy affair..

Black was everywhere…what little of it there was worn..

Shirts off..and just the right amount of leather – seemed to be the look most guys were going for..

It was the perfect end to the Sunday night…

Route 66 has proven to be a very popular venue for the parties this year… The party will return next year…in a harder format..based on feedback from guests…

Sunday Night’s show was Michael Jackson, performed by “Jackson Live” from the Uk.

The choreography was amazing.. and he sang everything from Jackson 5 to the final songs finishing up with a fantastic rendition of Man in the Mirror.. 10 costume changes and some amazing backing dancers… this group was on fire!

This year’s Mr Gay Sitges was run by the people who organise the Mr Gay España competition.

With the finals for the 2011 competition just ending in Madrid a few days before, Mr Gay Sitges was the first contestant to be awarded the prize for the 2012 competition.

The prize includes an all-expenses paid trip to Madrid Pride in 2012, a collection of beauty products and a full wardrobe from ES Collection and Addicted.

The competition was tough….and the guys looked amazing..

They had 3 costume changes, casual, sport and of course swimwear!

The event was co-sponsored by ES Collection.

The big name star for this year’s Pride was Dana International. The former Eurovision Diva started with a few problems on the sound, but all was soon fixed and she wowed the audience with a great performance on Saturday night.

It was Dana’s first time performing in Catalunya and we would like to thank the Israeli Embassy for all of their assistance in bringing her to Sitges.

More than 80,000 people have visited Sitges during the Pride events this weekend..

Hotels and apartments were booked solid..

This year the parade kicked off a little later than usual..

It was hot, but nothing was going to deter the participants on the 24 floats for the parade…

The event was lead by the ES float and their very hot boys…

Once again the bars, clubs and businesses of Sitges really put a lot of work into their costumes, themes and floats..

It was a sea of feathers, sequins and speedos…

We have everything from the wild west to burlesque..

And in the middle Markatu, the famous local Sitges drum band lead the way for lead sponsor Gaydar and their very hot Gaydar boys..

The parade took 2 hours to make its way through the seafront as a packed audience parties along with the participants..

The whole event was a real community affair..

Look out for more photos over the coming weeks as we get more in from the 7 photographers that were covering the route!
