Lyon Pride 2026: dates, parade and more information

Lyon Pride 2026, happening on 27 June, is expected to draw over 20,000 participants.

Known locally as "Marche des Fiertés LGBT+ de Lyon," it is an annual event in the city of Lyon, France. It's the biggest gay event of the year in the city. The main event is the parade, which passes through many of Lyon's most iconic and charming streets. Be sure to get yourself a hot French husband before you leave.

Parade Route

The march will commence at Manufacture des Tabacs on Cours Albert Thomas and proceed through Lyon's city center, culminating at the lush Parc de la Tête d’Or. The march is organised by the Collectif Fiertés en Lutte, a coalition committed to advancing LGBTQ+ rights and visibility across the Rhône-Alpes region.
