The 13 Prides left in 2026
The Pride calendar does not end in August. Thirteen are still to come, from Malta — which finishes this Sunday — to Rio on 22 November, and two of them fall on the same day on different continents: Taipei and Johannesburg, on 31 October. Almost all come from organisers who have already published the date; the only estimate is Montevideo, and we say which one and why. In the southern hemisphere Pride belongs to spring, so Montevideo, Buenos Aires and Rio close the year instead of opening it.
- #1
See full guide →4 to 13 September, with the march on Saturday the 12th through Valletta's streets. It is the first on the list to go. Malta moved fast in a few years: a self-determination gender identity law in 2015, the first EU country to ban conversion therapy in 2016, and marriage equality in 2017.
- #2
See full guide →Friday 25 September, estimated. The organisers have not announced this year's date yet; the 25th comes from the last-Friday-of-September pattern, and in 2025 it fell on the 26th. The route is published by the city: from Plaza Libertad along Avenida del Libertador to Plaza 1º de Mayo. It is Uruguay's second-best-attended annual mobilisation, behind only the Marcha del Silencio.
- #3
See full guide →Saturday 3 October, and it is an exceptional date: it was due on 27 June and was postponed because of the heatwave, with a red alert and temperatures above 40 degrees. Inter-LGBT confirmed the new day on 20 August and shortened the route, which now runs from Place d'Italie to the Bastille. It is the first time the march has been moved out of June because of heat.
- #4
See full guide →Parade on Friday 9 October, at night, through downtown, and a separate festival on Saturday the 17th at the Desert Breeze Events Center. A night parade is unusual among the big ones: almost all of them march in the morning or at midday. The floats are lit, and the city sells it on exactly that.
- #5
See full guide →Saturday the 10th (11:00-17:30) and Sunday 11 October (10:00-17:00) at Ogimachi Park. It is the festival's twelfth edition and the parade's twentieth anniversary — the parade came first. Japan does not recognise same-sex marriage, but the city of Osaka has issued partnership certificates since 2018 and the prefecture since January 2020.
- #6
See full guide →10 and 11 October at Piedmont Park, with the parade on Sunday the 11th along Peachtree and 10th Street. It is not in June for a specific reason: Atlanta holds it on the weekend closest to National Coming Out Day, which is 11 October. More than 350,000 people, with around 100,000 just watching the parade.
- #7
See full guide →Saturday 17 October at Lake Eola Park, downtown. The organisers count more than 250 groups and businesses in the parade and over 230,000 attendees last year, which makes it one of central Florida's largest. Another US Pride that lands in October rather than June.
- #8
See full guide →Saturday 31 October, twenty-fourth edition. It has been Asia's largest Pride since 2019, when it passed 200,000 people; in 2024 there were 180,000 and in 2025 around 150,000. This year it falls on Halloween, so costumes join the flags around Ximen. Taiwan approved marriage equality in 2019, the first in Asia and still one of very few.
- #9
See full guide →Saturday 31 October, the same day as Taipei, on Katherine Street in Sandton. It is the thirty-seventh edition, and this is where the first Pride on the whole continent marched: on 13 October 1990 and doubled as an anti-apartheid demonstration, four years before apartheid ended. South Africa was the first country in the world whose constitution explicitly banned discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation, in 1996.
- #10
See full guide →6 to 8 November, with the parade on Sunday the 8th at ten in the morning along Palm Canyon Drive. Fortieth edition. It began in 1986 as a variety show called «Sizzle» in the Riviera Resort ballroom, and in 1995 it moved from Memorial Day weekend, in May, to Veterans Day weekend: the organisers say the change sent hotel occupancy up.
- #11
See full guide →Saturday 7 November, with a fair on Plaza de Mayo from the morning and the march in the afternoon towards Congress. This year's slogan is «El orgullo al poder. El odio al carajo». It is not in June: the Buenos Aires march goes in November in memory of the founding of Nuestro Mundo, the first homosexual organisation in Argentina and in Latin America, born in November 1967.
- #12
See full guide →Saturday 14 November, and it is worth knowing what you would find: there is no parade. What the organisers have announced is the Rainbow Market, an indoor market at Central Market. The last street march was in 2018: in 2019 the police turned down the application and it became a static rally, in 2020 the pandemic cancelled it, and it has not gone out since. The indoor format has become the norm.
- #13
See full guide →Sunday 22 November on Copacabana's Avenida Atlântica, thirty-first edition and the year's closer. The theme is «Reconhecemos justa toda forma de amor e de existência» — we recognise as just every form of love and of existence.
Lined up, the calendar shows something you miss if you only look at June: Pride season is a northern-hemisphere convention. In the south it goes with spring, which is why Montevideo, Buenos Aires and Rio close the year. In the United States, Atlanta and Orlando move to October to sit beside National Coming Out Day, and Las Vegas and Palm Springs wait for the desert heat to drop. Paris is in October for the opposite reason: this year's June heat was unbearable. And Hong Kong is a reminder that a Pride can also shrink — there is still a date, but no longer a street. Twelve of the thirteen have dates published by their own organisers; Montevideo's is an estimate of ours, and we say so where it matters. This list is updated as they are confirmed.
