Abidjan Pride 2026

Abidjan Pride 2026 marks a significant moment for LGBTQ+ visibility in West Africa ? a pride gathering in C?te d'Ivoire, one of the region's few countries where same-sex activity has never been criminalised. Operating with the careful, low-profile character appropriate to the Ivorian context, Abidjan Pride brings together the city's LGBTQ+ community for a series of cultural, social, and advocacy events in and around the Cocody and Plateau districts. International visitors are welcome and the event provides a unique opportunity to engage directly with West Africa's Francophone LGBTQ+ community. Format and specific event locations are communicated through community networks in advance ? follow Ivorian LGBTQ+ organisations online for current information.
