Barcelona's Pride Parade Fills the Streets

What you need to know

About

Barcelona's Pride parade takes over the city center on Saturday evening, rolling out from Plaça de la Universitat and down Gran Via before it finishes near the Arc de Triomf. Expect truck-sized floats, live music, dancing and a sea of color, with plenty of local families in the mix alongside the crowds. It's a warm, high-energy celebration rather than a quiet kids' outing, so it suits older children who can handle noise and big crowds. The most comfortable place to watch with kids is the finish end at Passeig de Lluís Companys, a wide, pedestrian boulevard with grass and shade where you can step back from the crush when you need to.
