Roma Pride 2026

Roma Pride 2026 is Italy's largest annual Pride event, with a parade route that ends at the Colosseum — one of the most dramatic settings for any Pride event in the world. Pride Week runs from approximately 31 May, with the La Pride Croisette open-air festival at Giardini delle Terme di Traiano offering daily programming from 18:00 (music, arts, debates). The parade on Saturday 13 June 2026 departs from Piazza della Repubblica and follows a route down Via Cavour and the Fori Imperiali to Piazza del Colosseo. The post-parade Rock Me Pride party takes place at Ippodromo delle Capannelle. Roma Pride has been organised by the Circolo di Cultura Omosessuale Mario Mieli since 1994. The city hosted EuroPride in 2011, when Lady Gaga performed at Circo Massimo and approximately one million people attended — still the largest LGBTQ+ gathering in Italian history. The 2026 edition is expected to draw 150,000+ parade participants.
