Namur (Namen)’s Journée des Fiertés returns on Saturday 30 May 2026, with a vibrant programme transforming the city into a hub of rainbow colours and queer celebration. Organised by Fiertés Namuroises, a long-standing local association, the event has helped establish Namur as one of Wallonia’s most prominent gathering points for the LGBTQIA+ community.
A week of events
This year’s edition spans several days, from 26 to 30 May, and features a rich line-up of activities, including film screenings, exhibitions, a Pride march, and an associative village. The expanded format ensures that the event is more than just a single afternoon of festivities, it creates space for both celebration and collective visibility, which lie at the heart of Pride.
A Pride rooted in community
What sets Namur’s Pride apart is its community-driven approach. The associative village brings together partner organisations and LGBTQIA+ groups from across the region, while the day’s programme also includes cultural, activist, and family-friendly activities. This balance has been a hallmark of Fiertés Namuroises for years, making the event a cornerstone of queer life in the province.
The association describes the Journée des Fiertés as its flagship moment, but it is also part of a broader, year-round programme of social and cultural activities. In other words, this Pride is not just an annual event, it is deeply embedded in a thriving local ecosystem.
The main day
The main day begins at 12:00 on 30 May at Place Maurice Servais and continues late into the evening. Earlier in the week, the programme includes a screening of the film ‘À voix basse‘ on 26 May at the Grignoux cinema and the opening of the ‘Éclosion‘ exhibition by artist Sh’iel Poppy on 28 May at Chez Juliette.
At 12:00, the site opens officially. At 13:00, the Pride march departs, followed at 14:15 by the opening of the associative village.
The afternoon features performances by Hélène De Bruxelles, Aicha Queen Disha, Laly Maye, Do Row, Lara FullCamp, Gabanna, Emilio Amico, and the Orphée choir.
At 18:30, concerts by LaDiva Live and Stage Legacy Music take the stage, followed at 22:30 by a DJ set featuring hits from the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s with Manuel Delaite. The day concludes with an after-party at Nana Bar Namurois.
Associations, partners, artists, and volunteers will come together to fill Namur with the colours of diversity, inclusion, and pride.
