Organizers of the 16th edition wanted to raise the visibility of LGBTI+ people in Slovakia and draw attention to the need for solidarity in society. They also pointed to growing social tension and the deteriorating situation in the area of human rights. The program featured public speeches, music, and a march through the city center.

Participants walked through Bratislava, passing by the former gay bar Tepláreň. In connection with the public gatherings, police carried out security measures and reportedly also used police drones for monitoring. Available reports did not mention any incidents of public order disruption or significant traffic complications. aktuality.sk ↗
On the same day, the capital also hosted the Hrdí na rodinu (Proud of the Family) event, which contributed to a busier Saturday in the center of Bratislava. Further developments will depend on how the course of the gatherings is assessed and on how organizers and public institutions follow up on the themes of safety, solidarity, and the position of LGBTI+ people in society.
