Gay Pride in Madrid is massive! It is loud, colorful, energetic and, at the same time, welcoming! The Spanish do it right! The huge crowds are there to party, not to judge, not to protest, not to divide or hope that things were different. They are there to fill the streets with pride, happiness, to drink and dance.

Groups of boys and (many many girls) break out in spontaneous drum processions in and around Chueca and along Gran Via (the main avenue through downtown). The streets, sidewalks, tapas bars, stores, and bars are full of partyers. The drum beats fill the air and everyone participates. It was wonderful! Similar to the Fiesta de la Calle San Sebastian in San Juan, Puerto Rico (held in January each year), and many other Latin parties. Think a mini-Carnival!

Gay men and Lesbians mix seemlessly with the straights in Spain. During the Pride Parade and festival, you saw little grandmas, grandpas and children not batting an eye at the muscle daddies, twinks, jocks, drag queens, leather men, and shirtless studs kissing and showing affection on the streets as if it was as common as a rainbow after a spring rain. Amazingly open and comfortable.

Unfortunately, the dates for Madrid Pride always seem to be a mystery. Unlike other major cities, the dates are inconsistent, especially if you try to plan your airfare and hotel reservations for it. It appears to alternate between several dates (so it doesn't conflict with Barcelona). Be patient and continue to look for a consensus on the exact dates. But whatever you do: Don't miss Madrid Pride!

is there anyone to inform me when is tha parade of the gay pride in Madrid... i heart a lot and i got confused.. is anyone who knows the days pls?

over a year ago

I spoke to someone I know in Madrid who said that the Parade is DEFINITELY on June 28th. I don't know how he knows this yet. Is there any way to confirm?

over a year ago

I think the sites the say June 26-July 6 know that is must be one of those weekends but don't know for sure. Madrid Pride is only 4 or 5 days at most (from Wednesday or Thursday until Sunday). So it's either the 26 to the 29th or the3rd of July to the 6th but not both. When will they know for sure? I need to book airline tickets and I can't be in Madrid both weekends?

over a year ago

We have seen several sites changing the march to 5 July indeed, although these are tentative dates. The offical website is down unfortunately, but we try other sources to provide the correct dates.

over a year ago

Are you sure of these dates? Other sites have the tentative date of the Parade as July 5, not June 28.

Gaypride Madrid: it's THE gaypride of the South of Euroland! the Parade in the street is visited by millions of very enthusiastic gays and gayminded people of Spain and the rest of Europe. don't forget to visit the "Infinamentegay party" on Saturday night: This party will be held in Casa Campo this year and will be even bigger then last year (more then 10.000 clubbers together last year!!!!), with some nice surprises....

hasta la vista!
