Lima Authorizes LGBTI+ Pride March for June 27

Lima's LGBTI+ Pride March is set to proceed on Saturday, June 27, 2026, after receiving authorization from the Metropolitan Municipality of Lima. The approval follows a request submitted by the Colectivo Marcha del Orgullo Perú in November 2025, marking a significant step after months of anticipation.

The event will commence with participants gathering at 9:00 a.m. in the Campo de Marte, located in Jesús María, along the Avenida de la Peruanidad. The main procession is scheduled to begin at 3:00 p.m. Organizers have stated that the route will be closed to vehicular traffic. Floats from companies and institutions must enter the assembly area between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m., following logistical guidance.

The march will traverse several key avenues, starting from Avenida de la Peruanidad, proceeding through Garcilaso de la Vega, Nicolás de Piérola, Alfonso Ugarte, and Guzmán Blanco, before returning to the starting point. The Municipality of Lima has announced a special traffic management plan for Jesús María and Cercado de Lima, involving temporary and progressive closures of streets along the procession's path.

In conjunction with the march, the National Police will implement diversion plans at strategic points, supported by the municipal mobility management team. The Authority for Urban Transport for Lima and Callao (ATU) confirmed the temporary closure of the Quilca and España stations of the Metropolitano bus rapid transit system during the event. Pride Month activities are also scheduled in other Peruvian cities throughout June.
