Nagoya Rainbow Pride 2027

Nagoya Rainbow Pride (名古屋レインボープライド) is central Japan's largest LGBTQ+ Pride celebration, held each May in the Sakae district around the Oasis 21 complex. The festival features a parade through central Nagoya together with stage performances and community booths at Oasis 21's Galaxy Plaza. First held in 2019, it succeeded the earlier Nijiiro Domanaka Parade (2012–2017) and has grown into a several-thousand-strong annual event. Exact dates are confirmed by the organizers each year; recent editions have fallen in mid-May.
