Belgian Pride
Saturday 17 May 2025
On Saturday 17 May, the colours of the rainbow will catch your eye in Brussels during Brussels Pride. You can participate in various activities on the theme of LGBTQIA+ rights in the city centre and a colourful parade will pass through the city.
To make sure everything runs smoothly, several bus lines serving the city center are diverted.
Additionally, to show our support for the diversity values represented by Brussels Pride, a bus bearing the rainbow colours runs on the network for a whole month.
