Barcelona's Pride 2025: visibility, activism, and celebration 

This year's Pride Barcelona serves as a tool for visibility, resistance, and transformation. Its organizers have unveiled their social campaign, activity calendar, and official poster for the 2025 edition, at the Museu de l'Art Prohibit on Wednesday. The slogan for this year's edition will be: "LGBTQIA+ Culture: Universal Culture." 

The event itself will take place from June 26 to July 19, and is set to be the largest LGBTQIA+ event in the Mediterranean and one of the major summer happenings in Barcelona.  

Pride Barcelona 2025 dedicates its social campaign to celebrating the contribution of the LGBTQIA+ community to universal culture. A visual initiative showcases 12 cultural icons interpreted by 12 LGBTQIA+ illustrators from Catalonia, each figure is linked to a color of the inclusive flag. Among the icons are RuPaul, Catalan actress Margarita Xirgu, Freddy Mercury, Frida Kahlo, and Lady Gaga.

The campaign was developed with the active support of 13 organizations in Pride Barcelona's Motor Group and more than 35 social entities.  

Pride Barcelona 2025 will feature an ambitious program, with over 60 social and cultural events led by collectives and other organizations. The festival will center on three themes: visibility, activism, and celebration.  

Key events include the Pride March on Saturday, July 19, starting at Plaça Universitat and ending at Pg. Lluís Companys, where one of two main stages will be located. Concerts, DJ sets, and performances will take place on July 18 and 19 at Plaça Universitat and Pg. Lluís Companys, with the Pride proclamation on July 17 at Plaça Universitat. 

The event also unveiled a new inclusive logo and announced its bid to host World Pride 2030, reinforcing its commitment to representation and diversity.
