Pride Village
In the lovely setting of Střelecký Island, there’s always something going on during the festival. On a lazy summer afternoon, you can watch the stage program, join activities on the lawn, play a ball game with friends on the field, or just chill in the shade under the trees by the river. It’s up to you whether you enjoy a nicely chilled beer, coffee made just the way you like it, or get lost in the sparkles of a limited edition pink Pride gin. If you arrive at the Village in the evening, the island comes alive, transforming into a vibrant space full of rhythms, fun, and fleeting encounters. At 10 PM, the Village must quiet down due to nighttime noise regulations, but the action moves to Pride Club on the south side of the island.

Come find out about the groundbreaking Constitutional Court ruling on ending castrations of trans people, what life is like for queer seniors, how to fight hate crimes, or how to ensure consent. From the Logos booth, you can take home a rainbow rosary, and the Jsme fér counseling booth will explain what the recently approved “partnership” means for same-sex couples and their children.
Get into the Prague Pride vibes with irresistible festival merch. Don’t wander around the island unnecessarily – head straight to the Queershop booth.
