Madrid Pride 2025: One of the world’s most vibrant moments.

Celebrate yourself, your community, and your rhythm at Madrid Pride 2025.

Summertime is when you can feel the heart of Madrid beating throughout the city. From June 26 to July 6, the city comes alive with rainbows, music, and voices as it hosts one of the world’s most vibrant Pride celebrations. Every year, Madrid Pride draws thousands from across the globe to honor, advocate, and dance in solidarity.

The festivities begin on June 28, a date that honors the Stonewall riots and the start of the LGBTQ+ movement. It’s also known as International Pride Day. And the excitement continues all week with celebrations of culture, acts of resistance, and gatherings to lift the soul. Closing the epic event on Saturday, July 5th, is the legendary Madrid Pride Parade. Uniting floats, music, and voices who call for equality and celebration, the gathering is a powerful and playful march that winds from Atocha station to Plaza de Colón.

While the epicenter of Madrid Pride is Chueca, a neighborhood where self-expression is celebrated all year round, Pride takes over the whole city. You’ll find open-air stages, community events, and abundant joy across many of our key plazas: Pedro Zerolo, Plaza del Rey, Puerta del Sol, and Plaza de España. All made possible by the dedicated efforts of Spain’s LGBTQ+ organizations, including FELGTB, COGAM, AEGAL, and the Madrid LGBTQIA+ Collective.

Here’s how the full 2025 Pride Week breaks down:
