EuroPride 2027 Turin

EuroPride 2027 comes to Turin (Torino), the elegant baroque capital of Piedmont in northern Italy — a city better known for FIAT, the Shroud of Turin, and the Egyptian Museum than for pride. The choice of Turin for EuroPride reflects both the event's ambition to reach new audiences and Italy's complex journey on LGBTQ+ rights.

Turin received 53% of the vote from EPOA (European Pride Organisers Association) members, beating out Gloucester, Vilnius and Torremolinos. The choice is politically charged: Italy under successive conservative governments has resisted marriage equality and adoption rights for same-sex couples, making EuroPride's arrival in an Italian city a statement as much as a celebration.

EuroPride 2027 runs June 18-26 in Turin's magnificent baroque city center — wide avenues, arcaded streets, and the Po River providing the backdrop. The centerpiece is a parade through the Piazza Castello and along the Via Po, followed by a festival at the Parco del Valentino on the riverbank.

Turin itself is a revelation for many visitors: underrated and under-touristed, it offers world-class museums, extraordinary food (it's the birthplace of the slow food movement), and a genuine, non-tourist-facing Italian city experience that more famous destinations cannot provide.
