Grindr Rides Again: Our Second Annual Pride Bus Tour Goes Global
Grindr’s back on the road. The Grindr Rides Again Tour 2025 is officially in motion, and yes, you’re on the list. It’s Pride Month, and we’re showing up with a fully loaded bus, a few too many clack fans, and enough surprises to make things interesting. Get ready for your very own pop-up Gayborhood parked in the middle of your city—free stuff flying, photo ops everywhere, and people you haven’t seen since last summer suddenly standing zero feet away.
So, what’s the tea?
The mission’s simple: show up for our community. This is Grindr stepping out of the app and into real life—bringing the Gayborhood straight to your block. Every stop becomes a microcosm of queer connection, tailored to the vibes of that specific city. We’re pulling up with stuff you’ll grab, stuff you’ll post, and stuff you didn’t know you needed until it was in your hands. (And yeah, the fans are back.)
Each stop comes alive with hyperlocal flavor—queer artist installations, iconic local drag, limited-edition bumper stickers, and community energy you won’t find anywhere else. Whether it’s in the US or in Europe, we’re showing up in the heart of Gayborhoods worldwide.
Photo Booth
Come for the Gayborhood, leave with a better profile pic. Yes, our photo booth is back. With good lighting and the perfect angle baked right in, we want you to level up your profile and walk away with something frame-worthy—or at least scroll-worthy. So if you’ve been meaning to swap out that blurry gym selfie, now’s your chance.
