- The parade through the city begins and ends at Zelňák. Together we will walk through the city to show that even today it is important to be proud, to be heard and to stand together. This parade is not just about colorful flags and dancing. It is about solidarity, courage and the constant struggle for equal rights. It is about the fact that each and every one of us has the right to be who we are, and that together we are stronger. Whether you go with family, friends or join alone – Pride is for everyone who believes in equality and respect.
- 3:45pm 🎶 FVLCRVM
- The star of this year's program is this Slovak artist. His work was shaped by 90s music videos, burned CDs and local subcultures, which led him to naturally connect the underground with pop and to break down genre boundaries. His performance will not leave you indifferent. In his energetic live shows, he combines hardcore, trance, jungle and gabber with his own visuals, creating a euphoric experience that makes him one of the prominent names in the current electronic scene.
- 4:30pm 💃 Velvet Legacy Vogue
- Velvet Legacy follows the activities of our favorite Kiki House of Velvet. The performers from Velvet Legacy will combine a vogue show and a workshop for you and make us sweat a little with them. Vogue belongs to the so-called ballroom culture, the foundations of which were laid by dark-skinned trans women. In Slovakia, the "mother" of the scene is considered to be Monika "@monnush" Prikkelová.
- 5:10pm 💃 Ruby Dance Shows
- Dance is a universal language. We don't have to speak, but we still understand each other. This performance will be a reminder that movement can say more than words, that there can be a story, emotion and exaggeration in every gesture. And that even if we take ourselves a little less seriously, it can be the most sincere thing we can do.
- 5:15pm 💃 Verónica Vítová Roa
- Verónica Vítová Roa is a Czech-Colombian flamenco dancer growing up between two vibrant cultures – Andalusian Spain and Latin America. Her dance combines authentic Andalusian flamenco with a natural South American temperament, energy and emotionality, which give her dance a distinctive style and strong charisma.
- 5:30pm 💃 Artfactory dance
- Dancers from ArtFactory combine Street Dance and Contemporary and support the journey of the individual in a healthy community. For them, dance is a powerful form of self-expression, fulfillment and fun from movement. Come to Zelňák, explore the art of movement with them and discover the dancer in yourself.
- 5:40pm 🙇 Pride Team
- The team behind the entire Brno Pride Week will briefly appear on stage. We want to thank you from the bottoms of our hearts for your support and invite you to the closing party.
- 6:00pm 🎶 VAL
- VAL is a Slovak singer, songwriter and producer, known for her emotional expression, distinctive aesthetics and modern sound on the border of R&B, pop and rap. After studying music production in London, she began to create her own music, bringing an authentic and personal perspective to her work.
