Brescia Pride
The rainbow wave crossing the center of Brescia
About Brescia Pride
The rainbow wave
Every year the historic center of Brescia fills with color for Brescia Pride, the event for LGBTQ+ rights organized by the Comitato Brescia Pride ETS. The procession crosses the city streets in a rainbow wave made of floats, flags, music, and demands, against all forms of omo-lesbo-transphobia.
Procession, floats, and stage
The day is divided into two parts: the parade through the city streets, with themed floats, student collectives, associations, and social groups, and the concluding part with a stage, speeches, performances, and music. Drag queens and spokespeople animate the event, giving voice to the issues of the communities involved.
Accessibility and inclusion
Brescia Pride stands out for its great attention to accessibility: low sensory stimulation areas, high-visibility spaces to follow the speeches, Italian Sign Language (LIS) interpretation during the stage speeches, and recognizable volunteers to support the public. The event also promotes sustainability, encouraging reusable water bottles and cups.
A city that participates
With participation that has reached thousands of people in the procession, Brescia Pride has become a consolidated event in the capital's civil calendar. Alongside the procession, merchandise, a food area, markets, and exhibitions complete the day, transforming the claim for rights into a large popular and collective festival in the heart of Lombardy.
