Every year in June, Paris comes alive with the LGBTQIA+ Pride March, a festive, militant and iconic event. Organised by Inter-LGBT, this demonstration brings together tens of thousands of people to celebrate diversity, demand equal rights and fight against all forms of discrimination.
In 2025, the traditional Quinzaine des Fiertés (Pride Fortnight) will become Pride Week, a more concentrated and even more intense event taking place from 21 to 28 June 2025. Throughout Paris and its metropolitan area, a festive, artistic and activist programme will pay tribute to the diversity of LGBTQIA+ identities while affirming the need for ever greater mobilisation.
Organised by Inter-LGBT, which is celebrating 25 years of commitment this year, Pride Week will take place from 21 to 28 June 2025. A series of cultural, activist and festive events will prepare the city for the big Pride March on 28 June 2025.
Highlights of Pride Week include:
One of the highlights of the week is the Pride Run! On 22 June in Pantin, run or walk for pride in an inclusive and friendly atmosphere. This sporting event, open to all, promotes visibility, solidarity and inclusion through sport on the outskirts of Paris.
The Pride March will take place on Saturday 28 June 2025. Arriving at Place de la Nation, it brings together thousands of people, associations and collectives around common values: equality, respect and visibility. This large popular event is punctuated by activist slogans, music, drag performances and colourful floats.
In line with the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia (17 May), Pride Week is an unmissable event for raising the voices of the LGBTQIA+ community loud and proud.
Even before its official launch, Paris is decked out in the colours of diversity with two festive and socially conscious events: the Bal de l'Amour, a large, inclusive evening full of joy and performances, and the Club Culture Festival, which highlights the richness of queer cultures through music, art and encounters.
The LGBTQIA+ Pride March will take place on Saturday 28 June 2025 in Paris. The march will start in the early afternoon with a festive and activist route ending at Place de la Nation. The event is open to everyone and free of charge.
