🗓️ Pride Week 2026 Highlights

Don't limit your experience to just the parade! The newly concentrated Pride Week format includes:

• The Pride Run / Course des Fiertés (Saturday, June 20): A festive, inclusive 4km, 7km, or 10km run/walk through the street-art-filled community of Pantin to promote visibility and fight discrimination in sport.
• Le Marais Street Festivities: The historic gay district (3rd and 4th arrondissements), especially around Rue Sainte-Croix de la Bretonnerie, turns into a vibrant, neighborhood-wide block party all week long.

💡 Quick Tips for Attendees

• Arrive Early for Float Assembly: For the best photos and a chance to see the creative floats before they move, head to the Palais-Royal starting point around 12:00 PM Noon.
• Use Public Transport: Major road closures across central Paris will make driving or taxis impossible. Use the Paris Métro to head to the start at Palais-Royal – Musée du Louvre (Lines 1 & 7) or meet the ending festivities at Nation (Lines 1, 2, 6, 9, and RER A).
• Stay Hydrated & Travel Light:
• Late June in Paris can be very hot and sunny.
• Bring a refillable water bottle, wear sunscreen, and keep your belongings in a secure, front-facing bag since crowds get incredibly dense along Rue de Rivoli and at Place de la Nation.
