Gay Pride Maspalomas 2024: one of the most important events in Gran Canaria

Maspalomas stands out as one of the most important LGTB destinations worldwide. The Gay Pride celebration attracts thousands and thousands of people every year from all over the world. This celebration takes place every year during the month of May, marking the beginning of the Pride season in Europe, and it’s an event that thousands of people don’t miss.

Gay Pride, also known as LGBT Pride or LGBTQ+ Pride, is a movement and series of events aimed at promoting equality, visibility, and acceptance for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other marginalized sexual and gender identities.

When and where does the Gay Pride take place?

Gay Pride Maspalomas takes place from the 2nd to the 12th of May in the heart of the tourist centre of Gran Canaria, and more specifically in Playa del Inglés, both in and around the CC Yumbo Centre.

When was it first celebrated?

Gay Pride was held for the first time in 2001 and became the event that marked an important milestone in the history of LGTB Pride in Gran Canaria and in Spain in general.
