Johannesburg Pride Parade and Festival

Johannesburg Pride is an open invitation for all to come and take a stride for Pride. Every year, thousands gather as we march through the streets of JHB in a stand for self-acceptance and legal rights, but also in celebration of our pride. The parade is open to everyone who wants to attend, and is free of charge.

DATE

This year’s event will take place on Saturday, 26 October. Gates open at 11:00.

The Pride village will be set up on Rivonia Road, between Sandton Drive and West Str, Sandton. Secure parking will be available at Sandton City Shopping Centre.

The march will leave from the assembly point at 14:00 en-route through the Sandton CBD.
