VietPride Ho Chi Minh City

VietPride is Vietnam's LGBTI+ Pride series. The first was held in Hanoi in August 2012, and it reached Saigon the following year. Ho Chi Minh City's version has centred on a parade on Nguyễn Huệ walking street, with talks, exhibitions and parties around it.

The last HCMC march we can confirm was on Saturday 28 September 2024, in a week that ran from 21 to 29 September. In 2025 the organisers announced on 25 September that the march set for 27 September was cancelled for "external reasons". Amnesty International called it the first cancellation in 13 years, and Outright International reported unofficial pressure on venues.

The Diplomat reports that Pride events ran in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City from 26 September to 4 October 2026, with no downtown parade for the second year running. We couldn't find an organiser's programme to confirm that. The 2027 dates hadn't been announced when we checked in November 2026. Watch @vietpride.hcmc on Instagram, and don't plan a trip around a march.
