EuroPride fills Lisbon's streets with color, pride and inclusion

The parade was a moment of celebration, visibility and defense of the rights of LGBTI+ people. Tiago Henriques, one of the participants in the march, stressed that this event "is very important for drawing attention to LGBT issues at European level. It's increasingly important to fight for our rights and show that, whether in Portugal or in Europe, everyone should be happy and have equal rights."

Held in Portugal for the first time, EuroPride aims to raise awareness of equality issues regarding sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression and reinforces the importance of visibility and inclusion of LGBTI+ people in society.

Between June 14 and 22, EuroPride 2025 brings a plural program to the city, with free events: concerts, exhibitions, conferences and meetings.
