Pride will take place on Saturday, May 18, but the Brussels Pride Week will be organized in the capital in the days before. This year’s theme is ‘Safe Everyday Everywhere’, for a society in which everyone can feel free and serene every day and everywhere.
Brussels Pride has announced the program for this year. It starts on Wednesday, May 8 with an event that takes place at the House of Cultures in Molenbeek from 3 p.m. and around the Suzan Daniel bridge from 5.30 p.m.
On Thursday, May 16, the Mini-Pride procession will pass through the streets of the Saint-Jacobs district to kick off the Brussels Pride weekend. The procession also passes Manneken Pis, who will wear his specially designed costume for the occasion. The Pride itself will take place on Saturday, May 18. The parade will depart from the Kunstberg through the capital from 2 p.m. Various performances and DJ sets take place on the stage on the Kunstberg.
To ensure that everyone can come to the event in the best conditions and in complete safety, Brussels Pride is deploying a Safer Pride system all day this year, offering support and a listening ear. (amg)
