Quiz Criteria

Here’s a breakdown of the criteria for each of the 6 questions:

1. Weather: Weather plays a significant role in your experience at any event, including Pride. Knowing whether it will be hot, warm, or cool helps you plan your wardrobe and adjust your expectations for outdoor activities. Hot weather might mean sun and higher temperatures, so lighter clothing (*cough* harnesses and jockstraps) and sun protection are essential. On the other hand, cooler weather allows for layers and might encourage indoor activities, making it an important factor to consider for those with weather sensitivities or preferences. Cities like Madrid will be steamy and hot while cities like Reykjavik and Edinburgh will likely be on the cooler side.

2. Budget: Budget is a key criterion when choosing a Pride to attend. The cost of travel, accommodation, food, and activities varies depending on the destination. High-budget Pride events may offer luxury accommodations and gourmet food but could be overwhelming for those on a tight budget. Medium-budget Prides strike a balance with affordable travel options and dining, while low-budget options may offer more budget-friendly accommodations and a more relaxed vibe.

3. Food Scene: For food lovers, the food scene in the city of a Pride event could be a crucial factor. Whether you’re into fine dining or street food, the local cuisine can enhance the experience. Some Prides are in cities known for their culinary offerings, such as Amsterdam, Paris, or Rome, where food plays a significant role in the city’s identity. A ‘very important’ food scene means a destination with vibrant restaurants and food festivals, while ‘not important’ or ‘somewhat important’ signifies that food may not be the focal point of the event.

4. Culture: Culture is about the destination’s overall vibe and significance beyond the event itself. A ‘very important’ culture designation means the Pride event is in a place rich in history, art, or local traditions that visitors can explore in addition to the Pride celebrations. ‘Somewhat important’ suggests a city with some cultural offerings but not necessarily the central focus of the Pride event. This criterion is perfect for travelers who seek more than just the Pride parade and want to explore a destination’s local heritage.

5. Crowd Size: The size of the crowd can influence the overall experience. A ‘massive’ crowd typically means a large-scale event with numerous participants and spectators, which can lead to a lively, energetic atmosphere. A ‘medium’ crowd offers a balance of excitement without feeling too overwhelming, while a ‘small’ crowd can lead to a more intimate experience, making it easier to engage with others and feel more connected to the local community.

6. Vibe: The vibe of the Pride event is the general mood and energy you can expect. Some Prides have a ‘party’ vibe, with large-scale music, dancing, and celebrations that continue throughout the event. Others might have a more ‘intimate’ atmosphere, with smaller gatherings and more meaningful interactions. A ‘balanced’ vibe can offer a mix of both—enough celebration to enjoy the festival while also maintaining a laid-back environment for those who prefer a quieter atmosphere.
