Description

Information

As the warm weather finally reaches the city, flags and garlands go up all over Chueca neighbourhood and Madrileños prepare to celebrate Madrid Pride, an event that draws nearly two million visitors from across the globe. Enjoyed by people of all ages, genders, sexualities, races and faiths, it is living proof that Madrid is an open, cosmopolitan and diverse city.

After the huge success of the WorldPride 2017, Madrid has become one of the best LGTBIQA+ destinations of the world. In 2019, it will be the singer Monica Naranjo who will open the celebrations (3^rd of July on Plaza de Pedro Zerolo) that start on the 28^th of June with a program full of cultural and protest activities honoring the 50^th anniversary of the Stonewall riots that have marked the start of the LGBT liberation movement.

The great national protest on the 6^th of July (from Atocha to Plaza de Colón), will be the greatest protest moment of the celebrations, with the slogan Mayores sin armarios: ¡Historia, lucha y memoria! (Adults Without Closets: History, Struggle and Memory!).
