The event features a number of different areas:

The Pride Parade: The Pride Parade is one of the flagship events of Brussels Pride - The Belgian & European Pride 2024. Its aim is to celebrate diversity, tolerance and acceptance of all people, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, through a parade through the streets of the capital.
The Pride Village: The Pride Village is an area where you can find various organisations with an information and prevention role in relation to the LGBTQIA+ community.
