Nice, France to celebrate Pride with Pink Parade 2023

Coming in strong with the message, “Brisez les normes. Pas nos vies.” (Break the norms. Not our lives.) will take place on Sunday. Jameson Farn offers a preview.

It’s obvious this year, most certainly due to what has been seen throughout the global media networks, that the LGBTQIA+ community is reflective and concerned while taking a stand in how those of us are currently being treated around the world due to inequality and violence.

Although in the Cote d’Azur, forms of violence are fortunately sporadic it is important we stand together in solidarity with those not so lucky while continuing to push for equality.

This year, the Pink Parade (Pride) takes place on Sunday, July 9th.

The parade will start at 16h at the Port in Nice (Île de Beauté), and follow along the port and on to the Promenade des Anglais towards Le Negresco Hotel and end with a festive evening at the Théâtre de Verdure with a Pink Party from 18h to 23h.

Since the city of Nice is considered central to everything pertaining to the gay community, this tends to be where everyone in the region gathers as one for Pride, and here, instead of watching the parade from the sidelines, one can instead walk in the parade which is typically a fun and most memorable experience.
