Poznan Pride 2025: parade, events & more

Poznań Pride 2025 will be an extraordinary celebration that will culminate with the 21st Equality March on June 21, 2025! As the second biggest LGBT+ event in Poland, this year introduces a full month of activities promoting tolerance and equality, replacing the traditional Pride Week.

Embracing Change: A Month-Long Celebration

This year, Grupo Stonewall has expanded Poznań Pride into a month-long event.

The city of Poznań and Estrada Poznańska are financially and organizationally involved for the first time, marking a significant step forward.

Poznań Pride is not just about the march; it’s a rich cultural festival that includes:

• Film Screenings - Organized with Tongariro, local studio cinemas will feature a series of films highlighting LGBTQ+ themes.
• Theatrical Performances - Collaborations with Teatr Polski and Teatr Ósmego Dnia, along with guest performances from Berlin’s Maxim Gorki Theater, offer powerful narratives and performances.
