Event Overview and Participation
More than 25,000 people gathered in Mexico City to participate in the 47th annual LGBT+ Pride March, which took place along major avenues and streets in the capital.
Participants began congregating at the Angel of Independence early in the morning, with the march officially starting at noon and heading towards the Zocalo.
The Secretariat of Citizen Security (SSC-CDMX) closed off several roadways, including both directions of Reforma between the Inner Circuit and Violet Avenue, as well as Av. Juarez and Central Lazaro Cardenas, to ensure smooth progression of the participating contingents.
Despite recent rainy and cold weather, the conditions on Saturday allowed for a successful execution of the 47th Pride March without any significant issues.
Silent Segment
For the second time in the march’s history, a special silent segment was included. This segment began at the Glorieta de las Mujeres que Luchan and ended at the Anti-monumento de los 43.
Organizers requested participants break the silence with shouts, applause, or by naming victims of the 2014 tragedy once they reached designated points.
