Bogotá Pride

Bogotá Pride, also known as Marcha por la Ciudadanía Plena LGBTI, is one of Colombia's largest LGBTQ+ celebrations. Typically spanning the entire month of June, it culminates in a vibrant parade that fills the city's streets with rainbow flags, music, and activism. The event traces its roots back to 1977, inspired by the Stonewall Riots, and has grown into a significant demonstration of pride and a call for equality.

Attendees can expect a month filled with various activities, including flag-raising ceremonies, film festivals, and awards recognizing contributions to the LGBTQ+ community. The main parade, a colorful procession, usually starts at Bogotá City Council Square and moves along Avenida El Dorado to Simón Bolívar Metropolitan Park. The atmosphere is a powerful blend of celebration, protest, and community solidarity, attracting thousands from Colombia and beyond.

The festivities often include a "Bogotá Pride Fest," a circuit festival featuring top DJs and performances, organized by El Mozo Club. While specific dates for the parade and associated events vary annually, they consistently occur in June, with the main parade typically falling on the last Sunday of the month. The vibe is energetic and inclusive, making it a must-attend for those looking to experience Bogotá's vibrant LGBTQ+ scene.
