Salento Pride Italy 2024

Info

Salento Pride takes on Saturday the 6th July 2024.

Salento Pride is an independent project, born in 2015 with the aim of providing visibility and awareness to the Salento rainbow community. After four successful editions held in Gallipoli, Salento Pride becomes itinerant, to bring its colours throughout Salento. After last year's success, the Salento Pride APS association has renewed Lecce as a destination for the event for the promotion and claim of LGBTQIAP+ rights. Not only a party of people and colours, but also and above all a manifestation of claim of those fundamental civil and social rights for all members of the Salento and Italian rainbow community, rights that are still denied us by a society that turns its head from other part.
