Roma Pride 2025: parade, dates and hotels

Join thousands of gay, lesbian, bisexual & transgender people and friends, locals and visitors at Rome's largest annual gay celebrations.

The 2025 Rome Gay Pride parade will happen on June 14 and will start in the afternoon through the city centre, followed by a host of events, activities and dance parties.

The first event took place in 1994 so this will be the 31st anniversary of Roma Pride. Over 100,000 people are expected to visit making this one of the biggest LGBT+ events in Italy.

Roma Pride 2025 parade route

Roma Pride 2025 will be kicking off at Piazza della Repubblica at 14:00. The march will make its way through the city, passing by some of Rome's most historic landmarks, before finishing at Viale delle Terme di Caracalla. The parade will be followed by the official Rock Me Pride party at the Ippodromo delle Capannelle.

In the distant past, great Roman war leaders had their own Pride events (or "Triumphs") through the streets of Rome if they won a significant battle. Now the gays have their own Triumph every June - rather than parading vanquished enemies, they parade drag queens. No doubt Ceaser would be very happy!
