Lithuanian Pride 2026 Returns to Vilnius

Lithuanian Pride 2026 will take place on June 2–6 in Vilnius, with the main event – the March “For Equality!” – scheduled for June 6. As the largest and most visible international LGBTQ+ event in Lithuania, it brings together thousands of people each year who believe in equality, respect, and human rights. The festival is not only a celebration, but also a clear statement that LGBTQ+ people are an inseparable part of society, with the right to be visible, heard, and safe.

Throughout the week, Pride House at Estrada will serve as an open and welcoming space for the community and visitors, hosting gatherings, conversations, and a variety of activities.

The programme begins on June 2 with the official opening of Pride Month and the announcement of the Rainbow Awards nominations, presenting this year’s nominees and categories. On June 4, Estrada will host a cabaret night featuring the Brussels-based LaDiva Live, bringing together music, humour, and the spirit of queer performance. On June 5, the international conference “Rainbow Families: Towards Legal, Social and Institutional Equality” will take place at the Vilnius City Municipality, gathering experts, policymakers, and community representatives from the Nordic and Baltic countries and Ukraine to discuss key challenges and share best practices.

The main event will take place on June 6 with the March “For Equality!” along Gediminas Avenue. Open to all, the march invites participants to stand together in support of equal rights, visibility, and a safe environment for everyone. The march will lead to Kalnų Park, where a large open-air concert will mark the culmination of the festival. Lithuanian and international artists will perform, including the Spanish electro-pop duo Nebulossa. During the concert, the Rainbow Awards ceremony will honour individuals, organisations, and initiatives that have made a meaningful contribution to LGBTQ+ visibility, equality, and community wellbeing.
