Pride Parade 2026 in Paris: a week of celebration!
This year, Pride is preparing a week of festivities on the themes of love, joy, and tolerance. Organized for the second time by Inter-LGBT, this special week , from June 20 to 27, promises to be rich in emotion. On the program: activist events, concerts, screenings, and even a Pride race will be organized in Paris.
It will be an intense week of fighting discrimination and campaigning for real equality. Of course, the week will end with a bang on June 27 with the Pride march. Although the exact route has not yet been officially confirmed, the event is expected to offer a rich and lively itinerary, as it does every year. As a reminder, last year’s parade started at Porte de la Villette (Corentin Cariou metro station) before reaching Place de la République for a final show lasting until around 11 p.m., with live concerts and memorable performances!
Of course, this year, the floats will be part of the parade! Essential for LGBTQI+ associations, they help raise awareness among the general public. Music and dancers are expected to accompany this colorful festive day.
See you next June to celebrate love, diversity, and tolerance!
