Enola and Thessaloniki Pride: a story that started upstairs

Our bond with the city’s Pride is not new. In the winter of 2011, the first meeting of activists that laid the foundations of Thessaloniki Pride took place on Enola’s upstairs floor, with our founder, Georgios Lazaridis, among those who took the initiative. The first Thessaloniki Pride took place in 2012.

Since then, we have supported Pride for more than ten years: we host Pride Week nights, official after-parties and open activities. This year Thessaloniki Pride marks 14 editions, with the theme “Break the Code”, a call to break binary stereotypes. For the full context, see the complete guide to Thessaloniki Pride.

What a Pride party in Thessaloniki at Enola is like

A Pride Week night at Enola has something you won’t find the rest of the year. The dance floor fills up with people who just came from a workshop or a screening, with friends who came from other cities for Pride, and with people going out queer for the first time.

drag, art and music are at the center, as in all our nights, with the energy turned up a notch. There are flags, glitter, hugs with strangers who, in a few minutes, are no longer strangers. And there’s that feeling that the city, for a few days, is a little more ours.

If you want to get an idea, take a look at Enola’s events during Pride Week 2025 and the recap of last year’s week.

The Enola Pride Week 2026 schedule

We’ll be honest: the detailed schedule of this year’s nights, with themes and names, will be announced on Enola’s channels, on the site and on our social media. We don’t want to tell you anything before it’s finalized. What we can tell you is that “new surprises for 2026” are coming.

During Pride Week, opening hours may change for some nights. Any change is announced in the schedule, so check it before you head out. For the events of the organization itself, workshops, screenings, talks and concerts, see the day-by-day Thessaloniki Pride 2026 schedule and the official site Thessaloniki Pride.

If you’re coming from another city

The Pride week brings a lot of people to Thessaloniki from the rest of Greece and abroad, and accommodation in the center fills up quickly. Book as early as you can and choose an area that lets you get back on foot or with a short ride. See which areas are convenient for nightlife and how to get to Enola from the airport, the station and the center.

After the Saturday parade

The highlight of the week is Saturday, June 20: the parade starts at 18:30 and moves along the waterfront until 21:00, with a closing concert at the White Tower. To get organized, see the parade route and where to stand.

When the concert lights go out, Valaoritou is a short walk away. Enola has hosted official after-parties of Pride in previous years. For this year’s night, you’ll find the details on our channels. Whatever the schedule looks like, the Pride party in Thessaloniki you want to remember ends on the dance floor, with your people.
