There are hopes this year’s Geneva Pride March will be able to go ahead.
Covid restrictions meant it couldn’t happen last year – and its traditional summer date won’t happen this year.
But organisers are aiming for it to go ahead in September.
The event will be split into two. There maybe a smaller gathering in June, if conditions allow, around the Place des Nations – but the full march is slated for Saturday September 11th.
In 2019, 35,000 people marched.
