Festival des Fiertés, a program celebrating LGBTQIA+ cultures and identities in Paris

The Festival des Fiertés is an offshoot of the "14e des Fiertés", initiated for the first time in 2021. Once again this year, the 12th and 13th arrondissements join the 14th to celebrate the diversity of LGBTQIA+ identitiesthrough culture. The festival runs from November 9 to 26, 2023, and will feature a varied and largely free program, thanks to the participation of some 50 cultural players and associations. The aim is to raise public awareness of the fight against discrimination against LGBTQIA+ people and highlight the history and culture of the movement.
