Pride Parade
Pride is more traditional than you might think. Its history spans more than 50 years, dating back to 1969, when LGBTQ+ people first took to the streets of New York to demand equal rights. Carry their legacy forward and join the Prague Pride Parade. Together, let’s show that we want to live in a world built on equality and respect. And who knows—along the way, we might leave a few oppressive traditions behind and create some new ones of our own.
There’s a stage on Wenceslas Square – arrive early!
We’ll meet on Saturday, 8 August, at 11:00 AM in the lower part of Wenceslas Square. While the parade is assembling, DJ Jan Witek will be playing on the stage at Můstek, creating the perfect atmosphere from the very beginning. Jan will also host the gathering and share all the practical information you need before we set off.
The parade begins at 12:00 PM.
At the stalls in the lower part of Wenceslas Square, you can make a last-minute protest sign for the parade or get your face painted. Or pick up some rainbow essentials at the Queershop stand if you’re feeling underdressed. You can also stop by one of the Sephora stores and enjoy complimentary rainbow make-up.
A drinking water tank will be available on Wenceslas Square, so don’t forget to bring a reusable water bottle and fill it up before the parade begins.
The Parade Stays – The Route Changes
The parade is taking a new route this year. We’ll walk along Na Příkopě, turn onto Celetná at Republic Square, and continue to Old Town Square. From there, we’ll make our way along Pařížská Street, and follow the river via Dvořák Embankment and Ludvík Svoboda Embankment to Těšnov, before crossing onto Štvanice Island.
There, Pride Park will be waiting in all its colour and glory, with five stages of live music and performances, plenty of food and drink stalls, and an unforgettable atmosphere lasting until 10:00 PM.As always, music will accompany the parade from the Sky Stages placed along the route. But don’t hesitate to bring your own music, too. Let’s make some noise!
