Malta is the smallest European country, forming an archipelago between North Africa and Sicily with Gozo and Comino. The vibrant celebrations of Malta Pride showcase the country’s rich history, which includes influences from civilisations like the Phoenicians, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Spanish, and the British due to its strategic position. Celebrating Malta Pride is an expression of this historical richness.
Diversity is in our DNA. Over the last decades, Malta has proudly achieved the status of LGBTIQ+ friendly place, ranking top of the ILGA Europe Rainbow Index for five years in a row! Malta Pride is a testament to these achievements.
Many steps have been taken over the last 20 years. Participating in Malta Pride has become one of the significant milestones in showcasing inclusivity.
Malta welcomes and recognises all forms of couples and families, irrespective of their gender, while displays of affection in public areas can be witnessed without attracting any attention. There is no gay neighbourhood, as the LGBTIQ+ community is welcomed everywhere across our islands.
