Every June, Pride Month invites us to celebrate the identities, achievements, creativity and contributions of LGBTQIA+ people around the world. It is a time of joy, visibility, community and self-expression, bringing people together in celebration of love, freedom and belonging.
Across the world, Pride takes on the spirit of the places that hold it. In some cities it spills through grand avenues and historic squares; elsewhere it gathers by the sea, in neighbourhood bars, on festival stages and along streets that have long carried queer memory. What connects them is a sense of celebration, a tribute to those who made these moments possible, and an expression of hope for a world where everyone can live openly and safely – free to be who they are and love who they love.
In this guide, we’re looking ahead to some of the Pride events around the world in 2026, from iconic city marches to community-led moments of visibility and resistance.
