Pride isn’t over: 18 ways to continue celebrating worldwide in 2021

While we're nearing the end of Pride Month, June isn't the only time to celebrate and uplift members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Queer-focused celebrations and remembrance are a year-round affair.

This year, there are plenty of events — both in-person and virtual — yet to come. These events commemorate the personal accomplishments and sacrifices of trailblazing individuals who fought (and continue to fight) for true equality.

Of course, you can also celebrate Pride year-round by donating to organizations that help the LGBTQIA+ community. TPG is working with the nonprofit Rainbow Railroad to match up to $100,000 in donations to help rescue LGBTQIA+ individuals facing persecution based on their sexual orientation or identity.

Let's take a dive into the virtual and in-person celebrations around the world you can check out during the last week of June and beyond.
