It’s time to get your gay agenda for 2023 in order, as we proudly announce the HomoCulture Tour. The HomoCulture Tour 2023 is a carefully planned and curated collection of Pride events, LGBTQ+ music festivals, and queer-friendly destinations designed to inspire gay travellers to join the HomoCulture team as they zig-zag around the continent, celebrating our diverse and colorful community.
In 2023, the HomoCulture Tour will be visiting 10 confirmed destinations, with more stops being announced as they are added throughout the year. In 2023, the HomoCulture Tour has prioritized visits to Canadian destinations, along with events and destinations that have not previously been part of the tour in the past and will include signature events on the annual gay agenda. Confirmed new and first-time tour stops will include Key West Pride, Chicago Pride Fest, Fredericton Pride, Yukon Pride, and the Calgary Stampede.
“2023 marks the seventh year the HomoCulture Tour has been in operation,” said HomoCulture’s owner and editor-in-chief, Brian Webb. “The destinations and events on the HomoCulture Tour are selected and planned around key events on the gay calendar, based on their importance, timing, priority, and regular input from HomoCulture readers.”
Since its inception, HomoCulture has built a strong reputation as a leading LGBTQ+ travel resource, recommending destinations and events for queer travelers.
“We work closely with our partners, so each tour stop allows us to experience and report on accommodations, activities, events, and services that are queer-travel friendly,” continued Brian Webb. “It allows us to authentically make travel and event recommendations, and to learn first-hand about the issues, challenges, and success of the LGBTQ+ community at a grassroots level.”
The HomoCulture Tour allows the HomoCulture team to provide accurate reviews and viewpoints of these destinations and events, giving new ideas and inspiration for readers, fans, and followers to make informed decisions on future destinations and events to add to their bucket list and plan to visit in the future.
“Through powerful storytelling, our own, high-impact photography and videos, and unique on-the-ground experiences, we are able to produce fantastic, rich, and original content for our fans and followers, which they have come to rely on,” Webb explained.
