Bern Pride

A peaceful protest, vibrant outfits, dancing, glitter, flags and signs bring all the colours of the rainbow and more to the streets of Bern on August 3rd, in tune with this year’s BernPride motto: “Bunt. Laut. Bern.” – colourful, loud, Bern.

Thousands of people come together in solidarity at the BernPride to take a stand for the queer community. The event begins with a protest parade at 2:30 pm, when the colourful crowd marches from the Schützenmatte through the city centre to Parliament Square and, together with three music vehicles, fills the streets of Bern with music and dancing. In such a fun, lively atmosphere, even the Zytglogge (Clock Tower) will want to toll to the beat!
