2010 the new route of the Zurich Pride Festival demonstration Parade follows the boarders oft he beautiful Lake Zurich. Start will be again like last year at Hafendamm Enge. The track will drive over the Quai-Bridge to Uto-Quai untill Kreuzstrasse, an absolut dream with a huge impact.
The Parade with its numerous trucks and walking groups will start to move at 1 pm on Saturday 5th June 2010.
The Parade itself is going to be colourful and diverse as the LGBT scene in Zurich and the rest of Switzerland is. However, it is above all a political demonstration for acceptance, tolerance and against discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation.

Political speakers will open the parade in the beginning and close it afterwards on stage of the festival area.
