On 5 June 2026, on the eve of the Lithuanian Pride march “For Equality!”, members of the LGBTQ+ community, representatives of the diplomatic corps, and partners gathered at the Residence of the French Ambassador to Lithuania for an evening dedicated to solidarity, equality, and inclusion.

The event was hosted by H.E. Lucie Stepanyan, Ambassador of France to Lithuania, whose warm welcome brought guests together ahead of the main events of the Lithuanian Pride 2026 festival. The evening featured captivating performances by LaDiva Live and Pascal Catherine d’Oex, who added a touch of French charm and cultural diversity to the celebration.

The reception was also attended by members of the Spanish group Nebulossa, the headline act of the Lithuanian Pride concert in Kalnų Parkas. Their presence further reinforced the international spirit of this year’s festival.

The National LGBT Rights Organisation LGL extends its sincere gratitude to Ambassador Lucie Stepanyan and the team of the French Embassy in Lithuania for their continued support of human rights and the LGBTQ+ community in Lithuania. We would also like to thank all sponsors whose support contributed to the organisation of the Lithuanian Pride concert in Kalnų Parkas.
