Wenceslas Square – Pride Parade

The lower part of Wenceslas Square on 2nd August

The Saturday parade is the most anticipated moment of Prague Pride week. And the best part? The fun doesn’t end at the finish line – it continues with an afternoon and evening full of music, refreshing food and drinks, and unforgettable encounters.

Come and march to show that you love this country. Mushroom picking, a dog in every family, football, or goulash made of sausages – these are all things enjoyed by people regardless of their relationship and sexual orientation or gender identity. And yes, it’s sometimes damn hard to feel a connection with a homeland that treats you like a second-class citizen.

We’ll start gathering around 11:00 AM in the lower section of Wenceslas Square. The Parade Stage by hotel W Prague will be ruled by DJ Bájí and actress & singer Eliška Soukupová—ready to fire up the crowd and get the vibes pumping!

Grab your rainbow accessories at the Queershop stalls. Hard Rock Café will also offer rainbow merch, with 20% of proceeds supporting the festival.

Head to the Make-up Corner for a glam session with L’Oréal and Barberette, or visit Sephora on Na Příkopě 853/12 for more make-up magic.

Make yourself visible – and heard! Create a sign at our protest sign workshop stall.

Stay hydrated! Free water and ice cream will be distributed onsite.

Accessible toilets are located on Templova Street (next to Kolacherie) and in the Myšák Gallery.

And most importantly, there will be two booths at Wenceslas Square where you can either buy your Pride Park wristband for CZK 200 or pick it up by showing your QR code from your online purchase at GoOut.cz. With the wristband, you’ll be able to enter the Pride Park area at Letná without delay.

At exactly 12:00 PM, we march! We’ll move from Můstek into Na Příkopě Street.

The parade will lead us through Na Příkopě, Celetná, across Old Town Square, and up Pařížská Street to Čechův Bridge. From there, we climb the stairs to Letná and dash into Pride Park!

It’s a little over 3 kilometers – so wear comfy shoes and pack enough non-alcoholic drinks. Please recycle empty containers and don’t toss them into general waste bins. Along the route, you’ll find plastic recycling bins. If you can’t find one, just carry your empty bottle or can to the park. In Pride Park, recycling points will be available. Look out for our “Every Can Counts” team collecting empty cans along the route and near the Letná stairs.

Refreshments and cold non-alcoholic drinks will be available at Old Town Square.

Sustainability matters! No combustion engine vehicles will be in the parade. Our proud partner Škoda Enyaq Coupé Respectline – fully electric – will lead the way.

Eight music points along the route will keep you moving and grooving.

We expect the parade to reach Pride Park at Letná shortly after 2:00 PM.

The parade will be secured by police, a private security agency, and trained volunteers (clearly marked with reflective vests) equipped with radios to quickly coordinate with police command. Our organizing team is committed to keeping the event free from hate – especially expressions of homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, racism, and antisemitism – in accordance with the right of peaceful assembly.

Medical staff from the Red Cross will be on hand for sudden illnesses, heatstroke, or a twisted ankle (especially if you’ve gone all-in on high heels!).

Your safety and comfort are your responsibility too: bring water, sunscreen, and a hat. Leave alcohol and drugs at home. Wear footwear suitable for cobblestones and stair-climbing.

A low-floor, air-conditioned tram with a wheelchair-accessible platform will again operate between Čechův Bridge and Pride Park Letná (normally Korunovační/Sparta stop). This tram will only open doors at these two stops – no unexpected homophobe passengers, promise! Security will also be onboard.
