About the event
...to bring you EuroPride from 21 to 29 June 2024. With the fitting slogan "Persevere, Progress, Thrive", we will highlight the ongoing challenges facing the community in Europe while celebrating queer identity through various events such as film screenings, international conferences, art exhibitions, museum exhibitions focusing on our history, culture and more. We will offer you a EuroPride that is political while ensuring safety, fun and inclusivity for all.
In the picturesque city of Thessaloniki, the events take place during the week and the two adjacent weekends in various locations, such as the cultural space of the city port and the international exhibition grounds. The celebrations culminate in the EuroPride parade on the last day, 29 June. This parade takes place in the historic city centre around the white tower, which is illuminated in rainbow colours, as a symbol of the strength of our community and its integration into society.
Thessaloniki has developed into a tourist center of Greece in recent years.
With incredible weather, a vibrant food culture, one of the best nightlife and a long-standing LGBTIQ+ presence, the city has a lot to offer its visitors. Since 2012, Thessaloniki has hosted its own Pride festival every year, with attendance steadily increasing and now reaching up to 18,000.
