Pride Center Osaka hosts the 2024 edition of their annual Pride Cruise Osaka!

Coming on Saturday, May 25, the Pride Cruise Osaka 2024 is an event to promote Pride Center Osaka to people across the city of Osaka and to provide an opportunity to create connections! This year, Pride Center Osaka will launch three boats from the south side of the Okawa river, on the opposite shore of Pride Center Osaka, and go around the Osaka Castle area with various pride flags. On the shore will be events and social gatherings for participants. In addition, flyers about LGBTQ issues will be distributed and informational panels will be displayed at the event venue to give the local community more opportunities to learn about gender diversity.

Both locals and international visitors are welcome to participate in the event program and social events at the venue, Kawanoeki Hachikenya. No reservations are required for the event on the shore.
