Description

Information

As the warm weather engulfs the city, flags and bunting 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 renowned Spanish singer Monica Naranjo who will kick off the festivities (3^rd of July on Plaza de Pedro Zerolo) that in reality start a few days earlier, on the 28^th of June. This year it will feature a programme packed with cultural and protest activities commemorating the 50^th anniversary of the Stonewall riots, the spontaneous demonstrations which marked the start of the LGBT liberation movement.

The parade held on the 6^th of July (from Atocha to Plaza de Colón) is the main event of Pride. This year participants will march under the slogan Mayores sin armarios: ¡Historia, lucha y memoria! (The Elderly without Closets: History, Struggle and Memory!).
