Brussels Pride 2025: All you need to know

7-20 May


Brussels Pride, one of the earliest celebrations in Europe, will be held on 17 May, coinciding with IDAHOBIT (International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia). By coincidence, it also aligns with the grand finale of Eurovision 2025, ensuring that the capital will be filled with a vibrant and festive LGBTIQ atmosphere! More info.


This year's event will be a significant watershed moment, as it will be the first time that Brussels Pride has been organised since it was added to the Brussels-Capital Region's Intangible Cultural Heritage List.

In October 2024, the Brussels-Capital Region added Brussels Pride to its intangible cultural heritage list (along with the Ommegang). As a result, Brussels Pride became only the second Pride in the world to benefit from such institutional recognition. (Source)
