Colorful city: How Brussels prepared for Belgian Pride 2017

  • Editorial Team
  • May 20, 2017
  • 2 minute read

Time to get started with the Belgian Pride 2017! Streets of Brussels will once again be filled with partying, acceptance, diversity and love! The theme of the 22nd Belgian Pride Festival is #CrossingBorders, with a focus on ‘Asylum and Migration’. The slogan ‘Crossing Borders’ also puts focus on the experiences of LGBT+ refugees, both in their country of origin and at their arrival in Belgium.

More information on the program

WeLoveBrussels shares with you the selection of photos that our community posted in the last weeks, showing the colorful side of the city, zebra crossings for pedestrians painted in rainbow colors, flags flying on many communal, governmental and EU buildings, street lights showing same-sex couples and many other urban interventions which raised the visibility of the LGBT issues but also contributed to the creative appeal of our city.

If you are planning to attend the Saturday’s parade, take note – this year’s route will be somewhat different than previous years and entrance in some parts of the city centre will be restricted during a few hours of the parade. Four main entrances/exits will be available in the city centre. For more info, check the link in the second part of this article.

Can't wait for tomorrow:) #brussels #brusselspride #gaypride #brusselspride2017 #brussels #bruxelles #belgia #belgium #belgique #welovebrussels #visitbrussels #like #likeforlike #like4like #iphonesia #iphonegraphy #iphone7plus #vivabrussels #travelbelgium #loves_belgium #loves_united_belgium #loves_united_europe #eurostar #europe_greatshots

Thank you #Bruxelles! Hope these Vienna inspired traffic lights are here to stay also after the Pride parade.

Excellent trolling of the EU's less inclusive governments by @pascalsmetbrussels — He and Els Ampe have transformed the pedestrian crossing outside the EU's main buildings #Brussels #pride #lgbt #idaho
