Brussels Pride is Belgium’s largest and most colorful LGBTQ+ celebration, held each May in the heart of the European capital. The city comes alive with a vibrant parade, open-air concerts, street parties, and cultural events that promote diversity, equality, and love. The highlight is the Pride Parade, which fills the streets around the Mont des Arts and Boulevard Anspach with floats, music, and thousands of participants waving rainbow flags. The event also includes the Pride Village, hosting discussions, performances, and community initiatives. Blending activism, celebration, and European inclusivity, Brussels Pride stands as a joyful affirmation of identity and solidarity at the heart of Europe.
