The city of Tarragona is experiencing its third edition of Pride, a celebration of LGTBIQ+ Pride that combines protest and festivity with a march down Rambla Nova and activities in Plaça Corsini.

The third edition of the Pride festival in Tarragona, under the slogan 'Juntes, imparables' (Together, unstoppable), has filled the city's streets with a celebration open to all, defending diversity, equality, and the right to live freely. The event combines festivity with the protest of the LGTBIQ+ community.
From early morning, Plaça Corsini has been the central hub with an entity fair where collectives such as H2O, Veus Trans, Sons of Lilith, the Observatori contra la LGTBIfobia, URVisibles, Unicorns Pride Ebre, Okay Productions, and Ebrium Project have presented their work and created a space for information and meeting.
The atmosphere has been heating up with shows and activities like the musical bingoes organized by H2O, hosted by drag queens Zafiro d'Or, Salem Charm, and Ori Maurici, who have brought rhythm and humor to the day.
In the afternoon, Rambla Nova became the stage for the large Pride march. The procession, featuring a batucada, entity floats, and an institutional one, along with an adapted train, paraded through the city to the Balcó del Mediterrani and returned to the main square.
Back in Corsini, the manifesto drafted by the community's entities was read, emphasizing achieved rights and pending challenges. Afterwards, Marina García Sánchez from Tarragona, involved in dance, delivered the opening speech, focusing on the diversity of family models.
From 10:00 PM onwards, the Corsini stage hosted performances by Valerie Norton, Frida La Ter, Luzbel de Montiel, singer Natalia, the group Fades, and Ferrxn. The party continued into the early hours with Samantha Hudson and Vayatella Bersatxe, and later moved to Pub Highland for the Kuki Pride Edition.
