Zagreb Pride 2025: date, parade, events

Zagreb Pride 2025 champions LGBTQ+ rights with its annual march and series of events promoting equality and inclusion. The event typically features a parade through Zagreb's city center, culminating in gatherings at venues like Zrinjevac Park or Park Ribnjak. In addition to the main parade, Zagreb Pride often organizes a "Pride Week" leading up to the march, offering daily political, activist, and social events related to the annual theme. 

Zagreb Pride is Croatia’s largest and longest-running LGBTQ+ rights demonstration, first held in 2002. Emerging in a post-war society where LGBTQ+ visibility was minimal, the event has grown into a significant movement advocating for equality and human rights. Over the years, it has faced challenges, including counter-protests and legal battles, but has steadily gained broader public support.

Croatia has emerged as one of Europe's most popular tourist destinations. Zagreb Pride is a great excuse to visit.

There are a wide variety of events and activities but the highlight is the parade through the streets of Zagreb. Thinking of attending? Check our list of top Zagreb hotels for gay travelers.
