The 2025 Tel Aviv-Jaffa Pride Parade

The Tel Aviv-Yaffo municipality announced the pride parade, which will conclude at Charles Clore Park, on its official website. 

"As Israel marks one year since the war that deeply impacted the nation, the LGBTQ+ community reflects on its powerful mobilization during this time—both in contribution and in loss. The call is clear: equality must extend beyond death and be part of daily life," the municipality stated.

"A longstanding tradition since 1998, Tel Aviv's Pride events celebrate equality and acceptance, reinforcing the city's status as a global symbol of LGBTQ+ inclusion and resilience," the municipality wrote.
