Over 100,000 attendees in Prague Pride Festival 2024!

 


Prague Pride Festival 2024 is seven days of celebrating LGBTQ+ equality, with a particular focus on the theme of family and love this year, reflecting the ongoing struggle for equal rights for LGBTQ+ people in the Czech Republic. More than 100,000 visit the festival this year.

The highlight of Prague Pride is the annual parade, with tens of thousands walking through the center of the Czech capital. Among the participants were politicians, representatives of various companies and organizations, ambassadors, celebrities, and families with children. 

Over 60,000 of attendees walked through the streets of central Prague this year to celebrate LGBTQ+ inclusion, many attended workshops and other events. Despite increased security measures, police reported no major incidents at the annual event.

Before the parade began, participants gathered in the lower part of Wenceslas Square, where they could make banners, apply face paint, and listen to music from DJ Jan Witek. This year’s parade was notable for its commitment to sustainability, with no vehicles powered by internal combustion engines leading the procession.

Happy Prague Pride Festival!!!
