Twenty-five years of pride: a month of events and the grand parade
About Milan Pride
Twenty-five years of pride
Milan Pride celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2026, marking the milestone with a particularly rich and symbolic edition. The event, dedicated to the rights and visibility of the LGBTQIA+ community, takes place in Milan (Municipality of Milan, Lombardy) and in 2026 enjoys the patronage of the Municipality of Milan.
A Month of Pride
The Pride Month extends from June 1st to 30th, with over one hundred events including debates, talks, cinema, theatre, music, sports, presentations, shows, and stand-up comedy. Among the events, on June 21st, the Pride Sport Arena at Triennale Milano, a day dedicated to physical and mental well-being, with yoga, sports activities, and discussions on the values of inclusion in sports.
Pride Square in Porta Venezia
From June 24th to 26th, the Porta Venezia district — the historic rainbow heart of the city — becomes the center of the event with Pride Square: meetings and debates in Piazzale Lavater and a space dedicated to health and prevention in Largo Bellintani, with free HIV testing.
The Grand Parade
The highlight is the parade on Saturday, June 27th, from 4:00 PM to 6:30 PM: the procession starts from Via Pisani, in front of the Central Station, and reaches the Arco della Pace, where the demands of LGBTQIA+ associations, speeches by activists from around the world, and greetings from institutions are held, followed by a public celebration in the square. 350,000 people are expected.
