Brno Pride Week
About This Event
Brno Pride Week is the LGBTQ+ festival of the Czech Republic's second city. It's a week of small community events that ends with a parade through the centre and a Pride Park on Zelný trh. It's run by STUD, a Brno queer association.
Brno has history here. The country's first queer parade was held in Brno on 28 June 2008. Between 500 and 600 marchers faced neo-Nazi counter-protesters who threw eggs and tear gas, and the march was cut to about 15 minutes. Today's festival is much calmer.
The 2026 edition ran from 31 May to 6 June under the slogan "There's always something that unites us." The programme included a Pride Run picnic at Park Anthropos, a talk on intersex lives, a queer cabaret at Fléda and a benefit night at Vesna. On Saturday 6 June the parade left the Pride Park, and organisers counted about 3,000 people, the biggest turnout the event has had. The closing party was at Fléda. Because of a tight budget, the organisers relied on partnerships with Masaryk University and local cultural venues. Opponents heckled from the sidelines, but there was no organised counter-protest.
Most events are free, and some are aimed at English speakers. The 2027 dates hadn't been announced when we checked. Recent editions have fallen in late May or June.
