Starting on the 25th of July, Copenhagen will be hosting a celebration the likes of which this city has never seen – and it’s all in your honor.

Already, thousands of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) athletes, artists, activists and our supporters have booked their place in World Outgames’ extensive program of sports, cultural and human rights activities. And the local community is fired up as well.

Beginning with the opening ceremony at City Hall square, the city center will be shaking and shimmering to the beats of percussionists and live bands, dj’s and choirs. There will be picnics and barbecues, outdoor cinema and theatre, circus and artistic installations and lots of dancing in the streets.

Among the many tasty treats we have in store is the OutCities route along which public parks and squares will be jamming with the cultural vibes of Antwerp, Melbourne, Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, Tel Aviv and Denmark’s very own Aarhus.

The city will be as queer and saucy as the new Outgames ad developed in cooperation with the advertising agency Reputation and running from February in Diva, Gay Times, Passport Magazine, Winq, QX, Siegessäule, Hinnerk, Mix Brasil, Junior, PLUguide, Leo, Gab, Exit, Rik, Du & Ich, L.mag, Fridae, Sydney Star Observer, Melbourne Morning Star and Puffta Media.

Get your ass to Copenhagen!
