Nice Pride — Pink Parade 2026

Nice Pride — known locally as the Pink Parade — is the Riviera's biggest LGBTQ+ celebration, organised by the association AGLAE. The 2026 edition marches under the slogan "The Future Will Be Queer". Crowds gather from 3:30pm at Quai Papacino at the Port of Nice, with the parade setting off at 4:00pm and winding through the city centre toward the seafront. From 6:00pm a free open-air Pink Party takes over the Théâtre de Verdure with DJs, dancers and shows late into the night. Expect a warm, celebratory Mediterranean crowd of roughly 3,000–10,000 people — festive but far more relaxed than the mega-Prides of Paris or Madrid. Book accommodation months ahead, as the city fills up around the parade weekend.
