Manilva will once again celebrate diversity, equality and community spirit this summer as Manilva Pride 2026 returns on Friday 12th and Saturday 13th June.
The annual event, organised by the Equality and Diversity Department of the Ayuntamiento de Manilva together with the Be Yourself Association, has become one of the most vibrant and welcoming celebrations on the Costa del Sol. This year’s edition will once again take place in Sabinillas, with two days of live entertainment, performances, music and activities designed for all ages.
Manilva Pride has steadily grown in popularity over recent years, attracting residents and visitors from across the region with its message of inclusion, freedom and respect. The event combines a festive atmosphere with a strong commitment to visibility and equality for the LGBTQ+ community.
The programme will begin on Friday 12th June at 7 pm in Plaza de los Maestros with a Rainbow Drawing Contest for children, with prizes for the winners. The main stage programme will then run from 8 pm until 3 am, featuring concerts, performances and the official Manilva Pride 2026 pregoneros, Fran and Neo Ruiz, “Los Mellis”.

Celebrations will then continue on the main stage in Plaza de los Maestros from 8 pm until 3 am.

The Be Yourself Association, which has played a central role in developing Pride events in Manilva, continues to promote the idea of creating a safe, family-friendly and inclusive environment where everyone can celebrate freely and openly.
With its combination of entertainment, community spirit and seaside setting, Manilva Pride has established itself as one of the standout events of the local summer calendar and a reflection of the municipality’s multicultural and welcoming character.
