A large, loud and colorful crowd started their demonstration through the old town of Lucerne on Saturday evening on the occasion of the Central Swiss Pride. After the demonstration, the Pride will be concluded with an after-party at Bourbaki.
“Gen-Z against homophobia” and “God loves in many different ways. So do we.” can be read on the marchers’ placards. The loud but peaceful procession is accompanied by techno and electronic music. Drag queens encourage the onlookers standing on the sidelines to dance. The mood is generally exuberant.
The Pride Festival started at 11 a.m. with food stalls, markets, various musical performances and a bar. Later in the afternoon, Mayor Beat Züsli (SP) gave a speech. He said it was great how a major event like Pride brings together a wide variety of people. “For me, Pride is an opportunity to demonstrate Lucerne’s character as a cosmopolitan city that welcomes everyone and celebrates diversity.”
