Thanks for the info! Looks like we'll be missing out too as we'll be in Malaga for the week. I'm disappointed.....

Hmmm.. Now I´m not so sure. From the above link(s) I can´t find a mention of the date for the Gay Pride Parade. It does say, however: MADRID 05 Fiestas del día del orgullo gay 2005 del 24 al 03 de Julio 2005. And what´s "Mado SÁBADO 2 de julio de 2005"? Is "Mado" the parade? If so, we´ll definitely miss it. They mention the demonstration but I don´t know if that´s the same thing as the parade. Might be. Manifestación Estatal 2 Julio 2005 18:00 - salida pta. de Alcalá Las carrozas estarán preparadas y esperando la hora de salida a lo largo de la calle Alfonso XII 21:00 - Llegada a pza. Colón 21:30 - Lectura de Manifiesto - Plaza de Colón
Could we get a confirmation on the parade date? Regardless, now, since there are some "health issues" in the family we may not be able to attend afterall. Depends on how things go. Saludos, MadridMan

Yes, the demonstration/parade will be held on Sat Jul 2nd. MadO is an acronym taken from MADrid Orgullo (Orgullo means Pride). The official Website of the events in Madrid is http://www.mado2005.com/

A correction: All the festivities surrounding gay pride will begin on June 27th and will culminate on Saturday July 2nd with the annual parade. This is the information that I got from the FOLLOWING ARTICLE.

The starting point for the march/parade has changed a little. People will gather before 6pm on the Paseo del Prado, with the front of the parade in Cibeles. Then it's up Cale Alcala to the Puerta de Alcala, up Calle serrano and into Plaza Colon. Hope to see lots there!
