Launch of the most extensive pride event guide in Europe
In the next couple of months pride events all over Europe will take place. ILGA-Europe is proud to launch a new tool on our website, where over 135 pride events are featured in a user-friendly calendar, so you can find information of pride events near you.
The right to freedom of assembly in pride events is an important right for LGBT people as the community has a long tradition of organising pride marches and events. Luckily most pride events are being held without threats or resistance. However ILGA-Europe is working to defend this right as there have been bans, threats and limitations on the right to freedom of assembly in several countries in Europe. ILGA-Europe has raised this issue with the European Parliament, the Committee of Region, the Council of Europe, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe.

It is no news that ILGA-Europe every year produces a list of pride events in Europe – but thanks to amazing research by Frank Rönnqvist (Finland) and development of a new calendar tool you can now find information for over 135 pride events such as:
- start and end date
- date of main event
- city and country
- website link
This tool is so far the most extensive guides to pride events in Europe, and is there an event that is not featured, then write to Nanna Moe, Communications Officer.
