02/02/2025 at 12:20 pmMalta pride was amazing. Attended the 2023 Euro pride event and it was spectacular.
My favourite part of the event is that everyone is welcome to join the parade, there were no barricades or big crowds. It was very wholesome and inclusive.
I’d definitely recommend going there and experiencing it for yourself.
