Events will take place throughout the week, which will be in progress in Europride… “Perseverance – Progress – Prosperity”. This is the motto of EuroPride 2024 in Thessaloniki. It reflects three important elements, three pillars on which the LGBT movement is built. Organisers expect at least 40,000 visitors from 21 to 29 June, Apostolos Karabairis, a representative of the organizers, told ERT-3. Events will take place throughout the week in venues such as pier I of the city’s port and the International Exhibition, with the festivities culminating on the last day, June 29, with the great parade of EuroPride. The parade will take place at the historic center of the city and will pass through the illuminated in the colors of the White Tower rainbow, showing that the city is participating in this great celebration. “Friending EuroPride in Southeast Europe, we aim to combat discrimination against LGBTQ individuals, to stimulate confidence and hope for the community in the Balkans and more widely and to contribute to the whole of Europe becoming a safe and inclusive zone for all sexes, sexualitys, expressions and generally all diversity,” Mr. Karabairis added.
