2017 Prague Pride parade set for August 12

This year’s Prague Pride parade will take place on Saturday August 12, the organisers announced on Tuesday. As in the past, the procession will run from the city’s Wenceslas Square to Letná plain and will crown a week-long festival supporting sexual diversity. The first Prague Pride six years ago was met with protests from among others then president Václav Klaus, but in recent years the event has met with only limited resistance.
