Asia Pride Games 2026
Sport, culture, and nightlife collide in Kaohsiung City
The Asia Pride Games 2026 lands in Kaohsiung City from April 30 to May 4, bringing together sport, culture, and nightlife in one program.
Co-hosted by the Kaohsiung City Government and local organizers, the event is expected to draw thousands of participants from across Asia, competing in more than a dozen sports, including volleyball, basketball, swimming, and track events.
But it’s not just about competition. Organizers have framed the Games as a broader cultural festival, with exhibitions, forums, and performances running alongside the sporting schedule, according to the Asia Pride Games website.
At night, the focus shifts to the nightlife program, with drag shows, DJs, and parties staged across venues in the city’s port and cultural districts.
One of the headline events is Drag Arena Asia 2026, set for May 3, where performers from across the region take the stage as part of the festival’s entertainment lineup.
More information on the activity schedule is available on the Asia Pride Games website.
