Everything you need to know about the final weekend of Benidorm Pride

Transforming Spain’s sunny Costa Blanca into a dynamic hub of inclusivity and Mediterranean energy, Benidorm Pride is set to attract more than 20,000 international and local visitors this year. While atmospheric street gatherings light up the coastal resort throughout the week, the festival will build to its ultimate peak during an unforgettable weekend from Friday, September 4 to Sunday, September 6.

Friday night White Party at the auditorium

The weekend action will kick off in style on Friday, September 4, with the annual White Party held at the impressive open-air Julio Iglesias Auditorium in l’Aigüera Park. Thousands of festivalgoers dressed head-to-toe in white will gather under the stars to dance to sets by top international DJs and live musical acts. As midnight approaches, the party will move into the surrounding nightlife district, where popular late-night venues like Rockstar will keep the party going until dawn.

The grand seafront parade takes over Saturday: Tens of thousands of spectators

Saturday, September 5 will deliver the undisputed centrepiece of the entire festival: the Grand Pride Parade. Starting at 4:30pm from the iconic Levante Beach, a dazzling procession featuring 18 extravagant floats winds along the sun-drenched seafront promenade. Tens of thousands of spectators will crowd together on the coastal route, creating a massive wave of music, colour, and unity against the vibrant backdrop of the sea. After sunset, the festival will return to the Julio Iglesias Auditorium for the massive Main Stage event, headlined by renowned drag icons Kika Lorace and La Prohibida alongside top-tier stage performers.

Sunday old town finale and late-summer vibes

The week concludes on Sunday, September 6, with a lively grand finale centred around Benidorm’s historic Old Town. The neighbourhood’s picturesque cobblestone streets and tapas plazas host a series of open-air parties, venue takeovers, and dining events, offering a relaxed, yet festive opportunity to unwind and socialise.

Now officially affiliated with InterPride alongside major host cities like Barcelona and Sevilla, Benidorm Pride will combine world-class event production with vibrant Spanish culture. Apart from the high-energy entertainment, the city offers an exceptionally safe atmosphere, beautiful beaches, and engaging cultural exhibitions, making these final three days of the festival, running from September 4 to 6, one of the must-see late-summer festival experiences in Europe.
