Madrid Pride (Orgullo, MADO) 2027: dates, march and parties
Madrid Orgullo, known as MADO, is one of the biggest Prides in Europe: a week of celebrations in early July, with concerts in the big squares of the city centre, the Chueca neighbourhood buzzing and, on the Saturday, the march that crosses the city from Atocha to Colón. Here's what we know about the 2027 edition, and how to make the most of it.
The dates for Orgullo 2027
According to the official website of the city of Madrid, the 2027 edition should follow this schedule. The dates are still to be confirmed by the organisers:
- Wednesday 30 June: the pregón, the opening speech, on plaza de Pedro Zerolo, in the heart of Chueca;
- 30 June to 3 July: the Puerta del Sol stage;
- 1 to 4 July: the Plaza de España stage;
- Saturday 3 July: the national march, from Atocha to Colón.
The parties of Orgullo week land in the agenda as they are announced, on the Gay and LGBT parties and clubs in Madrid page.
The Saturday march
This is the biggest moment of Orgullo, and first and foremost a march for LGBTQIA+ rights. In 2026, it set off at 19:00 from the glorieta de Carlos V, at Atocha, went up the paseo del Prado and the paseo de Recoletos, and finished at plaza de Colón with the reading of the manifesto.
On march day, traffic is shut off in the centre from the afternoon (from 16:00 in 2026, from the paseo del Prado to Colón), and the metro and buses run a different service. To reach the start, get off at Atocha or Antón Martín; for the finish, at Colón, Serrano or Alonso Martínez.
Chueca during Orgullo
Chueca, Madrid's gay neighbourhood, is the beating heart of the party. The pregón takes place there, on plaza de Pedro Zerolo, and in 2026 the neighbourhood had its very own "Orgullo de Barrio" the week before, from 25 to 30 June. The bars on calle de Pelayo, calle de San Bartolomé and calle de la Libertad spill out onto the street: the LL Bar, the Bears Bar, La Lulú Showbar, the Mad Daddy Club or Prima's. All the addresses are on the Gay and lesbian bars in Madrid page.
Drag, before and after Orgullo
No need to wait until July to see drag queens in Madrid: the drag bingos pack the house all year round. On Thursdays at Forajido, on Fridays at the Axel Hotel, on Saturdays at Ya'sta Club and at the brunch at Lola 09, plus the dinner show at Gula Gula on Fridays and Saturdays. All the dates are on the Drag shows in Madrid page.
