About us

The world's Pride calendar, kept by the people who march in it.

World Wide Pride Guide is a community-built guide to Pride events across the globe — from million-strong parades in capital cities to a few dozen neighbours walking down a main street for the very first time.

Our story

It started with a missed parade

World Wide Pride Guide began the way a lot of good things do: with frustration. A trip booked to the wrong week, a festival found out about the day after it ended, and the realisation that there was no single, reliable place that answered a simple question — when and where is Pride?

What started as a shared spreadsheet between friends has grown into a public guide maintained by organisers, volunteers and travellers around the world. Organisers claim and manage their own listings, the community submits new ones, and our editors verify dates against official sources before anything goes live.

The big city parades were the easy part. The heart of this project is everything else: the first-year marches, the small-town picnics, the Prides that happen in places where showing up takes real courage. If people are gathering, we want it on the map.

Why it matters

Pride is more important than ever.

Pride was never just a party. It began as a protest, and in much of the world it still is one. Hard-won rights are being rolled back, events are being cancelled under pressure, and in dozens of countries simply gathering under a rainbow flag remains an act of courage.

That's exactly why showing up matters — and why finding out where and when to show up shouldn't be hard. Every march on this map is proof that a community exists, visible and counted. The bigger the crowd, the safer each person in it, and the harder it becomes to pretend we aren't here.

Visibility is protection

People who can see a community can join it. A public, findable Pride tells someone questioning in a quiet town that they are not the only one.

Rights need renewing

Progress isn't permanent. Every generation has had to march for what the last one won, and the marching only works if people know where to go.

Joy is resistance

Celebration in the open, in daylight, with music — in some places that is the boldest statement available. We make sure it gets an audience.

What we believe

Every Pride counts

Global by default

Pride doesn't only happen in June, and it doesn't only happen in famous cities. We list events in every country and every month we can find them.

Community-verified

Listings are submitted by the community and claimed by the organisers who run them, so dates come from the people who actually set them.

Small is mighty

A first-year gathering of forty people gets the same care on this site as a parade of a million. Often it needs the visibility more.

Free to use

Browsing the guide is free and always will be. Listing an event is free too — no organiser should have to pay to be found.

How the guide is made

Kept accurate by many hands

  1. 1

    The community submits

    Anyone can submit a Pride — attendees, locals, travellers who spotted a poster on a lamppost.

  2. 2

    Editors verify

    Every submission is checked against official sources before it's published, so the dates you plan a trip around are dates you can trust.

  3. 3

    Organisers take over

    Organisers claim their listing and keep it current themselves — new editions, programmes, venues and all.

The guide only works because people like you keep it growing. Add an event in a couple of minutes, or get in touch if you run one and want to manage your listing.
