Benidorm Pride
Benidorm Pride is one of Spain's biggest Pride festivals, filling the first week of September with parties, drag shows and a parade along the Levante seafront. The 2026 edition ran from Tuesday 1 to Sunday 6 September.
The heart of it is the Old Town gay village — Carrer d'Alacant and Carrer de Santa Faç — which runs a packed programme all week and hosts the village street party. Pool parties are the big ticketed daytime highlights.
For 2027 we expect Pride to return in early September, most likely the first week of the month; we will confirm the dates as soon as the programme is announced.
