Zurich Pride Festival

Every year, Zurich welcomes thousands of friends and supporters of the LGBTQ+ community who attend the multi-day LGBTQ+ Festival. This event, formerly known as Christopher Street Day, has been held regularly since 1994 to fight discrimination and advocate for LGBTQ+ rights. After hosting Europride in 2009, the festival was renamed the Zurich Pride Festival. In June, the Kasernenareal festival site transforms into a party hotspot, open to all. The festival's highlights include a parade and concerts featuring national and international artists.
