Winter Pride Maspalomas
About This Event
Winter Pride Maspalomas is the November counterpart to Maspalomas Pride in May. It's a week of free shows, parties, and a big march in Playa del Inglés on Gran Canaria's south coast. The 2025 Pride Walk drew about 40,000 people, with marchers from roughly a hundred nationalities.
The Yumbo Centrum is the hub, an open-air shopping centre where the main stage puts on free shows every evening. Ticketed events at hotels and beach clubs surround it: pool parties, a white party at Amadores Beach Club, and dance nights.
The Pride Walk, officially the Marcha por la Libertad, usually takes place on the Saturday. It's about a kilometre and a half from the top of Avenida de Tirajana down to the Yumbo, with a truck carrying the week's performers. Afterwards, the program continues in the Plaza de la Diversidad 'Darío Jaén'.
Book flights and rooms early, as this is high season on the south coast and prices climb. Most gay-friendly hotels are within walking distance of the Yumbo, and the beach and dunes are about a 15 to 20 minute walk away. November days are usually in the low to mid 20s °C, warm enough for the beach, and evenings are mild. Main-stage shows are free, but buy tickets for the big parties in advance; the popular ones sell out.
The 2025 edition ran from 10 to 16 November under the slogan 'Shine bright, stay proud', with the Pride Walk on Saturday 15 November. Festival director Emiel Wijnberg called that edition 'brutal' in the good sense.
The 2026 edition is from Monday 2 to Sunday 8 November; check the official program for the Pride Walk time.
