Catania Pride 2026

Catania Pride marches through a Baroque city entirely built from Etna lava stone — a visually unified and dramatically dark urban landscape that makes the rainbow flags and colours of Pride particularly striking. The event is organised by Arcigay Catania and held in June or July. Expected attendance: 8,000–15,000. Catania Pride draws from across eastern Sicily, including Taormina visitors. The march typically routes through Via Etnea — the city's main street, a straight north-south axis pointing directly at the summit of Etna.
