So why September? 

Weather: Malta enjoys hot summers, but July and August can be overwhelmingly crowded with tourists and very high temperatures. September provides warm, comfortable weather ideal for outdoor parades and events.

Tourism & Accessibility: Scheduling Pride in September allows both locals and international visitors to attend without competing with the peak summer tourist season. Hotels, transport, and venues are easier to manage, ensuring a smoother experience for attendees.

Event Coordination: September gives organisers time after the busiest summer months to plan large-scale events, secure permits, and collaborate with international performers, speakers, and sponsors.

Global Visibility: Holding Pride toward the end of the northern hemisphere’s Pride season helps Malta stand out on the international stage, attracting media attention and visitors from abroad.

Community Tradition: Over time, September has become the recognised month for Pride in Malta, allowing locals and returning visitors to anticipate it as a highlight of the year.

With its September slot, Pride Malta has carved out a unique space on the global calendar, blending warm Mediterranean vibes with a powerful celebration of love, equality, and community.

It’s not just a parade; it’s Malta showing the world what inclusivity looks like.
