This application is to provide the Parade Committee with information necessary to produce a spectacular Pride Parade for Rome Pride 2026! Please provide as complete a description as possible. Proof of insurance is required for each vehicle; this must be uploaded at the time of application.
The Parade Committee reserves the right to re-classify categories or refuse any entry into the parade that does not reflect the values, principles, and overall theme of the parade or that does not adhere to the policies of this Parade.
The Parade Committee asks that everyone remember that we are in this to work towards making our community better for everyone! So please make sure that everyone who participates in the parade understands the importance of respect and showing kindness to each other. There is ZERO tolerance for anything less than meeting the expectations of the Parade Committee.
Parade registration will close once capacity is reached, or by the registration deadline listed above; there is no guarantee that space will be available until your application is received and approved. This is a “RAIN or SHINE” event.
