The story

Budapest Pride in Budapest

Hungary's largest LGBTQ event has marched down Andrassy Avenue since 1997, typically on the first Saturday of July, combining a procession with associated film and cultural programming under the fuller name Budapest Pride Film and Cultural Festival. International visitors sometimes plan their Budapest trip specifically around the march date to show solidarity.

Andrassy Avenue, the UNESCO World Heritage-listed boulevard that anchors central Budapest, has served as the route for the country's largest LGBTQ event since 1997, making Budapest Pride nearly three decades old by recent counts.
