This year, Budapest Pride marks its 30th anniversary with a community festival and a march under the slogan “Itt(hon) vagyunk” (“We are here/home”). This powerful message highlights that LGBTQ+ people are an integral part of Hungarian society, countering claims that diversity is a foreign ideology or propaganda.

The festival, running from June 6 to 29, 2025, offers a diverse and inclusive program. Highlights include an international human rights conference focused on the successes and challenges of the LGBTQ+ movement in Central and Eastern Europe. Additionally, a special literary anthology featuring contemporary Hungarian authors will celebrate the voices of the country’s queer community.

The iconic Pride march will take place on June 28, a symbolic date honoring the Stonewall riots, the cornerstone of the global LGBTQ+ movement. Organizers promise a memorable celebration, reflecting on three decades of struggle, progress, and hope, while paying tribute to Hungary’s roots and culture.

Budapest Pride is more than an urban festival; it’s a declaration of existence for LGBTQ+ people across the country, from remote villages to bustling cities. Together, they remind us that equality is a fundamental right—for everyone, everywhere.
