Luxembourg Pride is coming back to Luxembourg City after 16 years. The organisers, Rosa Luxembourg asbl, confirmed in a press release on Monday that the event will take place in the capital on 10 and 11 July 2026, marking the first time Pride has been held there since 2010.
The event has always been organised in Esch-sur-Alzette, which will remain a central partner and continue to host Pride in alternating years.
Launched in 1999 under the name GayMat (a play on words in Luxembourgish meaning “Go with”), Luxembourg Pride was initially conceived as a way of drawing attention to the rights of the LGBTQ+ community.
The statement celebrates the growth of Pride from a grassroots initiative into an established fixture in Luxembourg’s cultural calendar, crediting the city of Esch-sur-Alzette as a central partner in that journey, a role it will continue to play in the years ahead.
