Laguna Pride (Venice)

Laguna Pride is Venice's grassroots Pride march: a small, openly political walk through the historic city, not a festival. Local queer activists and student groups organise it. Alongside LGBTQ+ rights, it campaigns against fascism, over-tourism and property speculation, and calls for the city's streets to be given back to residents.

It is one early-evening march in early June. People gather at Santa Lucia railway station, and the march winds through Piazzale Roma, Campo Santa Margherita and along the Zattere. Updates go out on Instagram at @lagunapride.

The 2026 march was on Saturday 6 June 2026, gathering at 5.30pm and finishing in Campo Sant'Agnese. Turnout is small: Gay.it reported hundreds marching through heavy rain in 2024, and we couldn't find figures for later years. The 2027 date hadn't been announced when we checked.
