Witness an equality MOU signing and join the Pride Parade
The main event of the weekend, this is also one of the most significant moments in Chiang Mai Pride's history. This year's theme – Chiang Mai: Inclusive City – is fitting for a movement that has always been about more than one marginalised community and extends well beyond one day or one parade. Parade aside, the MOU signing brings all 25 of the city's district representatives together with the business sector to publicly commit to making Chiang Mai equal and fair for everyone – and it's being signed outdoors at Tha Phae Gate, not inside a hotel. And for the parade itself , head to Putthasathan Chiang Mai at 6pm and make your way with the colourful crowd to Tha Phae Gate where activist speeches, cabaret shows and performances round out the night.
