Geneva Pride 2026

Geneva Pride is the annual LGBTQ+ pride event for Switzerland's most international city, taking place each May or June with a parade through the city centre and a programme of cultural events, performances, and political advocacy. The event draws participants from across the French-speaking region of Switzerland (Romandy) as well as from neighbouring France, giving it a cross-border character that reflects Geneva's position as a city whose metropolitan area extends into French territory. The 2021 marriage equality referendum result — 64.1% nationally — gave Geneva Pride a celebratory context from which it has continued to grow. The parade passes through the Old Town and along the lakeside, using Geneva's exceptional setting as the backdrop for one of the French-speaking world's most significant annual Pride events.
