Atlantic Pride A Coruña 2026, known as the “Orgullo del Norte” (Pride of the North), took place from 5 to 12 July 2026 in A Coruña. In its 7th edition, this free, inclusive festival, organised by the Asociación ORCO (Orgullo Coruña), will offer a week of concerts, DJ sets, drag shows and the 5th edition of the LGTBIQ+ Literary Competition, cementing its place as a benchmark for diversity and visibility in northern Spain.

The previous edition

In 2025, Atlantic Pride A Coruña held its edition from 8 to 13 July, drawing some 45,000 people and strengthening its image as a space of love, acceptance and inclusion. Plaza de María Pita and Riazor beach were the main stages, hosting concerts, cultural activities and spaces for reflection on diversity, with the support of the Concello da Coruña and sponsors such as Estrella Galicia. The success of this edition has driven the continuation of the free format and the focus on defending LGTBIQ+ rights.
