Pride Barcelona 2018 is celebrated from June 23 to 30. The motto of this edition will be #Allmyloving and revindicates the visibility of LGTBI + refugees.
Falling in love with someone of the same sex or claiming who you are justifies persecution, torture, imprisonment or murder in more than 80 countries of the world. A reality that PRIDE Barcelona will remember these  days. From June 23- 30, the streets of the city will be dyed in rainbows to raise awareness about how can locals and visitors help LGTBI + refugees to find a new life.
PRIDE Barcelona has scheduled more than a hundred acts distributed throughout the city, including conferences, free concerts, parties, sports activities and much more. All under a motto of union, All my loving. Here what you can not miss.
Rainbow mapping
On June 28, International LGBTI + Pride Day, emblematic buildings of Barcelona such as Casa Batlló, Hotel W, Las Arenas Shopping Center and El Molino will, once again, be illuminated with the rainbow flag to show their support to the collective. A magic show for the most colorful night of the year.
PRIDE Kids
Children can also enjoy  PRIDE Barcelona with games and workshops. Some include trampolines, water zone, gladiator championships, crafts and specialized literature for LGTBI + families. There is also a Diversity Storytelling for all audiences driven by LGTBI refugees.
High heels race
It has becoma a tradition of PRIDE Barcelona. On June 29 at 7:00 pm you can feel like the protagonist of Jurassic World running in front of the Rex in her Louboutins. The competition is tough and the prize is not enough to buy a new pair of shoes (€ 250) but t laughs are guaranteed.
Free concerts
Between June 29 and 30 artists such as Conchita Wurst (winner of Eurovision 2014), Loreen (winner of Eurovision 2012), Camela or King Jedet to give free concerts (it’s a shame that Netta Barziali is in Madrid, it would have been a great Eurovision combo ). The choice is not casual, since all the artists are entirely involved with the LGTBI + cause.
Pride parade
It will start on Saturday, June 30 at 5:00 p.m. and will go through the Avinguda del Paralel. This year’s claim is “For LGTBI refugees“. The Paralel will be dyed again with the colors of the rainbow for the vindication and celebration of love. The party ends in the main stage of Av. Reina Cristina and lasts until the night.
Holi in Viladecans
To commemorate the Pride, on July 1, the City Council of Viladecans (a municipality close to Barcelona) organizes a Holi party for sexual diversity and gender identity. It will be at 18:00 and will feature concerts, performances and, of course, a lot of color.
PRIDE Barcelona expects this edition overcoming the previous one, gathering 350,000 people instead of 2017 assistance of 260,000, which had an economic impact valued at 40 million euros.
