About This Event
Lesotho Pride is the country's annual LGBTIQ+ Pride march in Maseru. The first march took place on 18 May 2013, organised by Matrix Support Group (now The People's Matrix Association), and it has been held every year since, in recent years in November. The 2024 Peace March on 9 November went from 'Manthabiseng Convention Centre along Main South 1 Road to the Maseru Club; the 2025 celebration was on 15 November at the Maseru Club.
The 2026 edition, under the theme "Sovereign Bodies, Sovereign Nation", is on Saturday 14 November, organised by the Unlocking Love Foundation. Newsday reported a weekend programme: Queer WorX's Phutheho Market on the Friday, the march and Pride Queer Joy on the Saturday, and the Same Sex Saturday after-party that night with Durban's Other Village People. Start time and route were not published in advance. It is a small, community-run event, so check the organisers' social media for details.
