مسيرة فخر فالبارايسو / Marcha del Orgullo 2026

The Valparaíso Pride March — Marcha del Orgullo — is one of Chile's most distinctive Pride events, held each November in a city unlike any other: a UNESCO World Heritage port city of hills, funicular railways, and extraordinary street art, with the Pacific Ocean as backdrop. Valparaíso Pride draws approximately 30,000 participants, making it the second-largest LGBTQ+ event in Chile after the Santiago march. The November timing provides a counterpoint to Santiago's winter Pride — Valparaíso's spring march takes place as the southern hemisphere's warm season begins, with the cerros (hills) and their painted stairways forming a procession route of rare beauty. The event is organised by Diversidad Valparaíso and reflects the city's genuinely bohemian and inclusive character: a smaller, more intimate Pride than Santiago's, rooted in the specific culture of a city that has always mixed artists, sailors, students, and travellers. The march is typically followed by events across the bars and venues of Cerros Alegre and Concepción — making Valparaíso Pride the ideal combination of public celebration and intimate neighbourhood experience.
