Pride parade
Come with Us to this year’s fabolous Ljubljana Pride march! We are awaiting you with an amazing programme, powerful chants, music, queer joy, and most importantly – the best community ever! Bring queer visibility and liberation to the streets of Ljubljana, this year under the motto: “Democracy in our hands . hope is our resistance”. Join thousands of other protestors filling the city with colours. This year, a special block structure will make the march even more diverse and accessible for all our community members. And as every year, there will be banners, signs and merch for you to carry out on the streets!
We are starting this year’s march at 7 p.m. on Metelkova square and Masarykova cesta in front of Metelkova. People are invited to gather on Metelkova squaire and the area from 6 p.m.. There will be merch, banners and signs available for volunteers to bring out on to the streets together with Us! The march will go through the city and end on Kongresni trg, where we will round up the day with an amazing stage programme.
Because it is very hot every year on parade day, we will, with the help of the Swedish Embassy and the Swedish Institute, distribute bottles of water before and after the parade. This will ensure that everyone in the parade stays hydrated and full of energy!
