Pride Bonn is an annual event where we as a queer community take to the streets to stand up for our rights. All the rights and freedoms that queer people have today have been hard fought for and neither their preservation nor their expansion can be taken for granted. Pride Bonn sees itself as part of the fight for a free, self-determined life for all. In contrast to many other Pride events, it is militant, non-commercial and non-partisan.


We would like to invite you to join us at Pride Bonn on July 19, 2025. Let’s be loud together, set an example for solidarity and show everyone how many of us there are!


Whether you are a member of the queer community, an ally or simply a supporter of equal rights – everyone is welcome!


We look forward to welcoming you to Pride Bonn and setting an example together for love, respect and equality!
