Luxembourg Pride 2024

Info

Luxembourg Pride takes place the second week in 2024.

What started as an information stand on a small square in Luxembourg City has now become a week of continuous events hosting numerous socio-cultural activities that attract over 6 000 visitors. The former GayMat, now The Luxembourg Pride, is currently the oldest and biggest Pride event in the Grand Region and the second weekend of July has become a fixed date of joy in the Grand Region’s agenda. Our objective: fight against LGBTIQ discrimination and the one of other minorities through meetings, film projections, expositions and a street festival. The Luxembourg Pride is an invitation for young and old to celebrate living together in our colourful and diverse society and showing it in a peaceful and festive way.

Monday, 8th July
19:00 – 19:30. Commemoration Ceremony. LGBTIQ+ people have been marginalized for centuries and are often still a victim to social hate and crimes. Today, we want to take a moment to honour those people who weren’t as fortunate as we are and show them our respect for the path that they freed for us. This year is the 9th year in a row that we organize this ceremony at the national Monument of Resistance in Esch, with again the opportunity to host a full audience.

Parade
Equality March, Saturday the 13th July @ 12:30
A central element of a Pride has of course always been the Pride Parade. Since 2015, the stage programme at the street festival starts every year with the arrival of the parade at the town hall square in Esch-sur-Alzette. But what is the parade all about? The Pride March is also a way for non-LGBTIQ+ people (so-called allys), organisations, parties and institutions to show their support and solidarity to the queer community and thus carry the concerns of LGBTIQ+ people into society at large.

Street Festival
Saturday, 13. July & Sunday, 14. July 2024
Compared to other cities abroad, small Luxembourg has a fairly manageable queer club and bar scene. This is compensated by regular parties. All party organisers work together for Pride and offer you the party highlight of the year. After the huge success that was Luxembourg Pride 2023, we return to Esch for a new Luxembourg Pride edition.
