This is the only pride parade in Kanagawa Prefecture. It has been taking place since 2022.
What happens?
The event features performances, community booths, and gatherings centered on LGBTQ+ visibility and pride. This year’s theme is “we are here”.
Set against Manazuru’s scenic coastline, this is an opportunity to celebrate queerness in an inclusive environment. Past year’s events featured ASL/JSL interpreters and Japanese/English bilingual information.
