Nice Queernaval Celebrates Its 10th Anniversary with 11,000 Revelers!

Last night, amidst a sea of smiling faces, Nice marked the 10th edition of Lou Queernaval, a one-of-a-kind event in France that drew over 11,000 participants.

As the country’s only LGBT+ carnival, Place Masséna was transformed into a vibrant stage for dazzling festivities. From the very first dance beats of the night, an air of excitement filled the square, setting the tone for hours of celebration.

One of the most spectacular, colorful and now traditional events of the winter, Queernaval welcomed not only members of the LGBTQ+ community but also allies of all ages and nationalities, coming together to show support and revel in the electric atmosphere.

 

The procession lit up Place Masséna with flamboyant costumes and mesmerizing artistic performances, captivating the crowd at every turn.

This milestone edition was more than just a celebration—it was a testament to diversity and inclusion, further solidifying Nice’s reputation as an open-minded and welcoming city for all.

A special thank you to Explore Nice Cote d’Azur and the LGBTQ+ journalists who arrived for Queernaval and to experience more of Nice and the surrounding area for the weekend.
