Prague is set to host its annual Prague Pride from August 5 to 11, 2024. This event, marking its place as a significant celebration of the LGBTQ+ community, promises a week filled with activities and events.
Prague Pride takes on special importance this year, serving as a protest against the Czech Republic’s recent changes to same-sex partnership laws. After seven years of waiting, the new legislation offers only a minor change, renaming “registered partnerships” to “partnerships,” without providing any substantial rights or recognition, such as legal acknowledgment of a partner’s non-biological child.
Key Events and Highlights
- Friday, August 9 - Sunday, August 11: Kick off the weekend with dinner by the Vltava River or in Prague's old town, followed by parties and events.
- Saturday, August 10: Join the Pride Parade at noon in Wenceslas Square, marching through iconic landmarks to Letná Park. Enjoy music stages, drag performances, and more in Pride Park.
- Afterparties: Choose from pop and disco at Mecca club or techno at Magion on Saturday night.
- Sunday, August 11: Reflect on the weekend's celebrations with a queer worship service.
Ongoing Activities Throughout the Week
- Pride Village on Střelecký Island: Enjoy daily entertainment, community events, and sports activities from Monday to Friday.
- Pride Club: Dance the night away with Prague's top queer DJs.
- Pride Café: Connect with expats and visitors at this English-friendly space, featuring musical performances, film screenings, and more.
Important Details
- Security: Police have increased security measures due to potential threats.
- Attendance: Up to 70,000 people are expected to attend.
