Global Black Pride Paris celebrates black LGBTQIA+ communities through culture, pride and activism in the capital

Global Black Pride Paris marks the very first edition in Europe of this international event dedicated to black LGBTQIA+ people. It offers a rich, multi-faceted program: conferences, an associative village, a pride parade, a music festival and community celebrations. The event aims to enhance Afro-Queer voices, promote equality, foster visibility and create a space for joyful resistance. Five days of encounters, celebration and commitment for a historic moment in France. The patrons of this Paris edition are: Niecy Nash-Betts (Emmy Award-winning actress and producer), Lady Phyll (co-founder and chief executive of UK Black Pride), Jérémy Clamy-Edroux (former French professional rugby player and equality campaigner), Olivia Shola (transgender feminist and human rights campaigner) and Giselle Palmer (model, actress, award-winning presenter and international ballroom icon).
Prices vary depending on the event. Many events are free, such as the Walk on September 12, 2026.
