Bucharest Pride se va desfășura în perioada 21 – 29 iulie 2023.

Bucharest Pride 2023, the largest event in Romania dedicated to the LGBTQ+ community, will take place from July 21st to July 29th and will focus on the feeling of family, as well as the right to have a recognized and legally protected family by the Romanian state, regardless of the sexual orientation of the partners, according to a statement from the organizers.

In the context of Bucharest Pride, a moment of maximum visibility for the community, Accept Association is preparing to launch the 360 #ProtectAllFamilies campaign. The first TV spot in Romania addressing this subject is already airing on television stations, featuring the parents of LGBTQIA+ individuals. Through this initiative, Accept Association invites Romanians to join the cause by signing the petition for the protection and legal recognition of same-sex couples: https://acceptromania.ro/petition/

Bucharest Pride will open its doors on Friday, July 21st, with the opening of the A Filthy Queer Feast exhibition, organized at Atelier35 from 7:00 PM, followed by a new edition of the Queer Night party – scheduled from 10:00 PM at Platforma Wolff.

Among the surprises planned by the organizers this year are the Queer Burlesque Show, the first show of its kind ever organized in Romania, an evening of Queer films, in collaboration with the ART200, Queer Voices, and Animest festivals, a special performance of the TransLucid show, recently awarded at the UNITER Gala, and the opening of the third edition of inVIZIBIL, the photographic project that honors and celebrates the trans community in Romania.

The end of Bucharest Pride will be a grand finale: a concert by Delia, scheduled for Saturday, after the march, at 10:00 PM, at Q Club. During the 9-day festival, the community and its allies will be able to choose from a list of over 90 exhibitions, screenings, performances, workshops, conferences, and concerts to celebrate Queer culture and identity.

A safe space where members of the LGBTQIA+ community and their allies are invited to enjoy the outdoor festival days, Pride Park will once again be a meeting place for queer artists, LGBTQIA+ organizations in the country, and the community. Here, visitors will find a stage dedicated to music and dance performances, relaxation areas, exhibitions, workshops on various themes, and even a food court, starting at 3:00 PM every day.

Year after year, the LGBTQIA+ community in Romania takes to the streets to celebrate their identity, to make their voices heard, and to reclaim their right to a dignified life. This year, queer individuals are invited to join the march accompanied by the people they love, to show the beauty of family diversity to the whole world. It is anticipated that in 2023, the record number of participants registered in the previous edition, when over 15,000 people responded positively to the invitation to join the diversity march, will be surpassed.
