In Paris, the Mois des Fiertés runs throughout June 2026, featuring a series of events spread across the capital’s districts. This annual festival highlights the struggles, demands, and cultural expressions of the LGBTQIA+ communities. It aims to amplify their visibility and to underscore both the progress made and the discrimination that still persists. Numerous associations, collectives, and cultural venues are taking part in this broad program across Paris.
Pride Month is part of a militant heritage dating back to the 1970s, in the wake of the homosexual liberation movements and the Stonewall riots in 1969 in New York. In Paris, the first marches saw the light of day in the early 1980s, gradually becoming a structuring annual rendezvous for LGBTQIA+ demands. This militant memory has developed in tandem with social transformations and mobilizations against homophobia, transphobia and for equal rights.
The French capital has long played a central role in LGBTQIA+ cultural and activist life, with emblematic venues such as the Marais and Parisian LGBTQIA+ centers. The Month of Pride, now supported by the City of Paris, includes exhibitions, conferences, screenings, associative meetings and festive events. A wide range of initiatives are planned, with the aim of making the program inclusive and accessible to as many people as possible. Ready to celebrate diversity?
