An appointment to celebrate, make visible and continue fighting
Fuenlabrada is preparing to host a new Pride with its own identity. Under the impulse of the LGTBIQ+ association Fuenla Entiende, and with the support of the City Council and other local entities, two days are coming full of demands, culture and diverse joy.
The city in the south of Madrid celebrates Pride 2025 with a program designed for all ages, all identities and all bodies. A safe and collective space where the party coexists with memory, struggle and visibility.
📍March of Colors: the heart of Pride in the south of Madrid
🗓️ June 20
🕗 Starting at 6:30 p.m.
📍Departure: Plaza de España, Fuenlabrada
More than a parade, the March of the Colors is already an essential tradition for the LGTBIQ+ movement in the south of Madrid. With more than 3,000 people expected, it will be an explosion of color, music and activism.
The day will begin with a performance by Alice Press, who will liven up the atmosphere from 6:30 p.m. At 8:00 p.m. the march will start, traveling through the main streets until reaching the fairgrounds. The now classic battle of colored powders will be held there, followed by live music with BailaFerias DJ.
🎟️ Registration is free and mandatory until capacity is reached: Individual registration – Family registration
🎭 DragBaret 2025: humor, music and collective memory
🗓️ June 21
🕗 8:00 p.m. (doors open 19:30h)
📍House of Music, Fuenlabrada
Pride is also celebrated on stages. The DragBaret 2025 returns with an edition full of surprises, art and drag talent. On this occasion, the night will feature the music of the group Leblond, finalists in the San Marino selection for Eurovision, and the irreverent Gala Von Rich, known for its acid criticism and nostalgic covers.
During the event, the already consolidated Fuenla Entiende Awards will also be awarded, which this year recognize the work of Benita, the December 26 Foundation and the charismatic Pupi Poisson. In addition, there will be raffles sponsored by local businesses, as a show of support for neighborhood businesses and community alliances.
🎟️ Admission is free until capacity is reached.
✊ Why does Fuenlabrada matter on the Pride map?
Because decentralizing Pride is also a political act. Fuenlabrada shows that great celebrations do not have to be limited to the center of the capitals. There is pride in the neighborhoods, in the peripheries, in every corner where an LGTBIQ+ person decides to live freely. And in that, the south of Madrid has the advantage.
