The parade marked the end of a month-long festival which included TLVFest -- the City's international gay film festival; a LGBTQ cultural line-up of events; a special show by the Israeli Opera honoring the famous Eurovision hits which took place at NYX -- the official Tel Aviv Pride hotel; and tributes to key historical figures in the LGBTQ community.
Celebrations are expected to continue throughout the weekend, with massive after-parties attracting tens of thousands of partygoers, including one featuring internationally acclaimed DJ and gay icon Ofer Nissim.
