Pride Festival 2025: a program celebrating LGBTQIA+ cultures and identities in Paris

The Pride Festival originated fromthe"14th arrondissement Pride," which was first launched in 2021. Once again this year, the 12th and 13th arrondissements are joining the 14th to celebrate the diversity of LGBTQIA+ identities through culture.

The festival runs from November 7 to 23, 2025, and will offer a varied program of events, most of which are free, thanks to the participation of around 50 cultural and community organizations. The aim is to raise public awareness of the fight against discrimination against LGBTQIA+ people and to highlight the history and culture of the movement.
