Bolivia National Pride March
annual LGBTQ event in Bolivia
The Bolivia National Pride March is a pride march held annually in commemoration of International LGBT Pride Day. The event is held at a different venue in various cities in Bolivia each year, as a way to strengthen the foundations of local LGBT organizations. During the march, LGBTQ people often roam the streets of the host city carrying pride flags and wearing colorful costumes.
The National March is organized by the TLGB Bolivia collective. The first edition of the event took place in the city of Cochabamba in 2013. The event is usually held in the week following 28 June, the date on which the International LGBT Pride Day is celebrated. Several pride marches are held annually across different departments of Bolivia; however, unlike these, the National March receives delegations from all nine departments of the country.
