After the Maspalomas Pride 2026 blackout, a new pride event is back: Eurovision Pride arrives in Maspalomas.

 

Maspalomas, one of Europe's most iconic LGBTQ+ tourism destinations, will once again become the world epicenter of diversity and music in May 2026. Following the 25th anniversary of Maspalomas Pride by Freedom 2026, which will be held from May 4th to 10th and will be condensed into seven days , the municipality of San Bartolomé de Tirajana is preparing to ignite pride once more with a vibrant new event: ' Eurovision Pride' , a pop festival inspired by the Eurovision Song Contest.

 

Thus, from May 14 to 17 , just three days after the closing of Maspalomas Pride by Freedom, the lights of the Yumbo Centrum stage will shine once again to host live performances, live broadcasts of the Eurovision Song Contest galas, special events, and themed parties featuring the greatest pop anthems of recent decades. A giant 60-square-meter LED screen will be installed in the central plaza to allow everyone to enjoy the semi-final and grand final of Eurovision 2026 in a unique atmosphere.

 

 

'Eurovision Pride' is the new festival in Gran Canaria, combining music, entertainment, and community , solidifying Maspalomas as the only European destination to host two major international Pride events in the same month. Its program will also include two exclusive pool parties at Ocean Club Maspalomas and Seven Hotel & Wellness , a grand gala dedicated to Eurovision, and themed parties celebrating Eurovision hits from the 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s.

 

 

The president of Freedom LGBT Association Maspalomas and promoter of this new event, Fernando Ilarduya , highlighted that “Eurovision Pride was created to expand the Pride experience and offer visitors a new way to experience the spirit of Eurovision, with freedom, respect and lots of pop music.”

 

With this new proposal, the tourist enclave of Maspalomas reaffirms its international leadership as a benchmark destination for LGBTQ+ tourism, culture and Pride celebrations, adding a new chapter to its history of diversity and coexistence.
