Proudly wearing our ‘You Belong Here’ t-shirts, our Starbucks partners have been celebrating Pride across Europe as part of Starbucks long tradition of supporting and celebrating the LGBTQIA2+ community year-round. As the final celebrations at Manchester Pride in the UK came to end, see how our partners have been celebrating in style this year.  

Vienna, Austria  

Our Starbucks store on Mariahilfer Straße was transformed into a colourful spectacle to host its second drag brunch in partnership with Vienna Pride. With host queens and kings including Drag Race Germany’s Pandora Nox and Clover Bish from Drag Race Spain, guests were treated to unforgettable performances, entertainment and the opportunity to try our latest Starbucks drinks.  

Zurich, Switzerland  

Over 40 of our Swiss partners proudly took to the streets of Zurich, adorning bright colours and wearing our t-shirts with nothing but pride as they marched for LGBTQIA+ rights.  

Manchester, England 

Continuing our longstanding partnership with Manchester Pride and the LGBTQIA+ community, this year Starbucks UK further extended our parade participation by hosting a fabulous float in the iconic parade and treating our partners to an exclusive meet-and-greet with RuPaul's Drag Race sensation, Tia Kofi.  

From drag brunches to pride marches, we are proud to be a part of it all.
