The story

Hong Kong Pride Parade in Hong Kong Island / Kowloon

Hong Kong's first organised Pride Parade marched from Causeway Bay to Southorn Playground in Wan Chai in December 2008, growing out of smaller gatherings earlier in the decade. It has returned most years since as one of East Asia's larger annual LGBT public marches, combining a street procession with a festival area of community stalls.

Hong Kong's first organised Pride Parade took place on 13 December 2008, when marchers walked from the Great George Street pedestrian area in Causeway Bay to Southorn Playground in Wan Chai, both on Hong Kong Island.
