Zurich Pride 2024
Zurich Pride 2024 is set to be a vibrant celebration of LGBTQ+ culture and rights, taking place in the heart of Zurich. This significant event is scheduled for June 15-16, 2024, and is expected to attract a large international crowd, bringing together individuals from various backgrounds to celebrate diversity and inclusivity.
The festival typically unfolds in the bustling area of Sechseläutenplatz, with the Stadthausanlage (behind Bürkliplatz) hosting the annual festival village and stages. The parade route includes Helvetiaplatz, Helvetia Square, Stauffacherstrasse, Staufacher bridge, and several other key locations in the city, offering a spectacular procession through Zurich’s picturesque streets.
Zurich Pride is not just about the parade; it includes a series of events such as themed parties, cultural activities, and gatherings at various locations. Key venues like The White Party Weekend Zurich, Kiki Day Dance, Boyahkasha, and Zurich Gay Tea Dance are known for hosting special Pride theme nights. Moreover, Zurich’s old town, renowned for its vibrant gay nightlife, is home to popular bars and cafes like Cranberry Bar, Kweer, Petra’s Tip Top Bar, Predigerhof, and Rathaus Café, each offering unique experiences and atmospheres.
For accommodation, staying in Zurich’s old town is recommended as it is close to the gay bars and the heart of the Pride festivities. Hotels like Hotel Storchen, Marktgasse Hotel, Hotel St. Josef, and Sorell Hotel Rütli offer excellent accommodation options, combining proximity to the event with comfort and style.
