The LGTBI+ Center in Barcelona commemorated its seventh anniversary on Saturday, May 9th, with a festive and activist event on Comte Borrell street in the Sant Antoni neighborhood.

The celebration, open to all audiences, combined popular culture and festivities with an activist spirit under the slogan "The streets are also ours," advocated by the organization. The event aimed to build networks with the local community and transform joy into a tool for mutual recognition and change.
Since its opening on January 19, 2019, the LGTBI+ Center has maintained a strong connection with the neighborhood, celebrating its trajectory each year with open parties. These events have served as a means of remembrance and playful activism, with previous celebrations held in venues like Plaça Catalunya or El Molino.
This year, the center has reaffirmed its deep-rooted presence in the neighborhood, emphasizing that "neighborhoods are spaces of freedom, visibility, and shared celebration," reinforcing its commitment to Barcelona's LGTBI+ community.
