Pride Village
by Vodafone
Set in the beautiful surroundings of Střelecký Island, Pride Village is the festival’s lively meeting place throughout the week. You’ll find queer youth, families, older visitors, couples, groups of friends, and festivalgoers from both the Czech Republic and abroad.
Drop by on a lazy summer afternoon to catch the stage programme, join activities on the lawn, play a few games with friends, or simply relax beneath the riverside trees. Treat yourself to an ice-cold beer, refreshing matcha, or discover drinks from a special Pride gin edition by Garage 22. As evening falls, the island comes alive, transforming into a vibrant space filled with music, dancing, and festival energy.
Suggested Contribution
For the 16th edition of Prague Pride Festival, we are introducing a suggested contribution. We are committed to keeping the festival as accessible as possible while facing rising costs, declining sponsorship, and the limits of public funding. In these circumstances, we see a suggested contribution as the fairest way to help secure the festival’s budget while sharing responsibility for making the festival happen with everyone who enjoys it. Every contribution truly makes a difference.
Suggested contribution: CZK 200
Please don’t think of it as a ticket for a specific event. Instead, consider it a contribution towards the festival as a whole, helping to support dozens of events taking place throughout the week—most of which are free to attend.
How does it work?
You can make your contribution online via Goout.cz anytime, from anywhere—even right now.
Or you can contribute when you arrive at Pride Village. There will be a welcome stand at the entrance where you can simply tap your phone or payment card. (Please note that we do not accept cash.) Festival volunteers equipped with payment terminals will also be around Střelecký Island, kindly reminding visitors about the suggested contribution. Just tap your phone or card, and you’re all set.
After making your contribution, you’ll receive a wristband so our volunteers know you’ve already supported the festival. If you made your contribution in advance through Goout.cz, you can collect your wristband at the entrance stand in Pride Village.
The same system will also be in place on Saturday at Pride Park.
One exception – the Festival Opening
The only event in Pride Village that requires a separate ticket is the Festival Opening on Monday, 3 August. Tickets cost CZK 150 in advance and CZK 200 at the door.
Pride Village Opening Hours:
| Monday 3/8 | 17:00-22:00 |
| Tuesday 4/8- Friday 7/8 | 15:00-22:00 |
Throughout the week, you’ll be able to borrow sports equipment in Pride Village. Don’t forget to visit the Czech AIDS Help Society testing tent, where you can get free, anonymous testing for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections.
At the tip of the island, overlooking Charles Bridge, you’ll once again find our bustling marketplace of information and inspiration. Discover the work of non-profit organisations, stop by for a chat with people from Trans*parent, In IUSTITIA, We Are Fair Equal Marriage Initiative, and many others, or simply enjoy everything the space has to offer. You can also get a temporary tattoo and do many other activities!
Treat yourself to this year’s newest addition to our festival merchandise. At the screen-printing workshop, you can choose from a selection of original artist-designed prints and customise your own clothing—or buy a blank T-shirt or tote bag on site and print it yourself. You’ll also find the rest of our festival merchandise at the stand. Every purchase not only gives you a great souvenir but also helps support Prague Pride Festival, and this year, your support means more than ever. Thank you!
Being by the river is bound to work up an appetite, so you’ll find plenty of food and drink to satisfy both big hunger and little cravings. Expect street food, vegan food, pancakes, prosecco, Proud beer, non-alcoholic drinks, and Absolut vodka. We use reusable deposit cups throughout the festival. You can return your cup at the designated return stand and receive your deposit back—or donate the deposit to support the festival instead. Card payments only are accepted at all stalls.
If you need assistance because of an accident or any other issue, our medical team is based next to the sports equipment rental and the Queershop.
If you need a break from the crowds, head to Pride HideOUT powered by Sephora. This quiet space is designed for rest and recovery, with cushions, calm surroundings, and room to catch your breath. Earplugs are available, and you can also speak with a trained crisis counsellor if you need support or simply a moment to regain your balance.
Accessibility:
Střelecký Island is accessible by elevator. Wheelchair accessible toilet is located in the public restroom in the bridge pillar; another one is available next to the other mobile toilets under the bridge arch. Pets are welcome!
