The Quinzaine des Fiertés LGBT is a cultural, festive and militant event held during the month of June in Paris since 2016. Organized by Inter-LGBT and supported by the City of Paris and the Ile-de-France Region, it highlights associations mobilized throughout the year in favor of the rights of LGBTQI+ people.
The program includes some 50 events at gay and gay-friendly venues, municipal facilities and arrondissement town halls: exhibitions, concerts, rando roller, conferences, bingo, apéro queer, debates, screenings, picnics, dance and sports demonstrations, voguing performances, colloquiums, festive evenings and clubbing, among others.
Its aim is to bring better visibility to lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people, and to support those involved in the fight against violence and discrimination.
On June 25, 2022, this Quinzaine des Fiertés (almost) concludes with the Marche des Fiertés LGBT parade through the streets of Paris (ex-Gay Pride).
Every year in June, the Marche des fiertés (formerly known as “Gay Pride”) brings together lesbian, gay, bi, trans, intersex, queer people and their allies in the streets of Paris, for a friendly and committed parade.
Festive and colorful, the event unites and mobilizes over half a million participants every year in a single cortège in which everyone has their place. Usually accompanied by a lively musical atmosphere, unusual déguisements and associative chars enliven this colorful march, which has become a major event in Paris.
Although the Marche des fiertés is a fun event, it's still a time for making demands and fighting for equal rights, regardless of gender or sexuality. Slogans and committed messages punctuate the parade, advocating solidarity around the various battles waged by the communities concerned.
The procession leaves Porte Dorée/Michel Bizot at 2pm on June 25, 2022, arriving around 4pm at Place de la République, via place de la Bastille. At 5pm, the large podium set up on Place de la République will offer musical entertainment until 10:30pm, in a festive, tolerant and militant spirit!
