Geneva Pride Marche des Fiertes 2024

Note – Pride in Geneva moves around each year and returns to the Capital in 2025. The 2024 edition of Pride takes place in Martigny on July 20th, 2024. Martigny is a 1 hour 40 minute drive from Geneva.

Each year Geneva pride attracts more than 35,000 visitors to the streets of the city for a weekend of fun parties, debates, cultural events and a large parade.

• If you are visiting for Pride, we suggest you book well in advance as the city, while normally quite during weekends, fills up for this event. The old town is the perfect location to stay, close to the bars and clubs.
