Pride Barcelona 2024: parties, parade & events

One of Spain's most popular gay festivals is Pride Barcelona. Bringing together the local LGBT community, friends and allies alike for a weekend of culture, activities and parties. The full lineup for Barcelona Pride 2024 is yet to be confirmed.

The highlight of Pride Barcelona is the parade on Saturday afternoon, followed by a massive party weekend that goes on until late. Previous proceedings included live performances at Avinguda de la Reina Maria Cristina from the Vengaboys, Inna and Eleni Foureira to name a few.

The bulk of Barcelona Pride will take place within the gay district. 

Barcelona's famous gay scene can be found in the Eixample district, often referred to as "Gaixample." This area is known for its high concentration of gay-friendly businesses, including bars, clubs, and cafes, creating a lively nightlife scene. The nightlife here is dynamic, with venues like Arena being popular spots that offer everything from drag shows to dance parties. Additionally, Barcelona's welcoming attitude is reflected in its annual events like Circuit Festival, one of the world's biggest gay events, attracting thousands of international visitors each year. This vibrant community and its events make Barcelona a top destination for LGBTQ+ tourists.

Pride Barcelona has happened every year since 2008 and promises to get bigger and better each time.
