Do you feel like celebrating in a friendly, lively atmosphere? See you on May 31 at Hôtel de Ville! The Centre LGBTI+ Lyon, the City of Lyon and the Plus Belle La Nuit association are joining forces once again to offer the people of Lyon a festive and inclusive evening: the 4th edition of the Bal des Fiertés! In the heart of spring, between two concerts, this evening is a must (you’ll understand why)! The festivities kick off at 7pm for an unforgettable night of diversity, celebration and solidarity!
A ball for everyone
The Bal des Fiertés is more than just a party: it’s a joyous manifesto for the inclusion and visibility of LGBTI+ people. The aim is simple: to enjoy an event where everyone is welcome and accepted as they are! Open to all, the ball is free of charge. Please note, however, that a minimum of €10 is suggested to support the event and guarantee its continuity (we all want to come back next year!) Registration is compulsory and nominative, so don’t wait to reserve your place, as the program already makes you want to be there!
An electric line-up
If you’ve already been convinced by the event’s raison d’être, just wait and see what’s in store! We hope you’ve warmed up well, because you’re likely to be dancing the night away, thanks to an eclectic and resolutely committed musical program! Lyon’s drag scene will also be in the spotlight, with artists as singular as they are inspiring. Enough to make you want to dance twice!

A place to party, but not only!
The Bal des Fiertés is also a space for prevention and kindness, so that all participants can exchange ideas in complete confidence. As well as promoting difference, the event is committed to supporting it! Several associations will be on hand to provide information on sexual and mental health, the fight against discrimination, and to distribute prevention material.
For those who need to catch their breath between sets, a chill space will be set up away from the main stage, with board games, video games and a prevention corner: the ideal plan to relax for a while without leaving the party! And because dancing is best done on a full stomach, a vegetarian cateringservice will be available on site, with tasty dishes prepared from local and seasonal produce. As for refreshments , drinks and cocktails will be served with reusable silicone straws, for an evening that’s as festive as it is eco-friendly!
As you can see, this unique evening promises to be one of the highlights of Lyon’s Pride festivities. Whether you’re here to dance, to discover, or simply to celebrate diversity: the Bal awaits you!
