Thousands of Costa Ricans marched through the streets of San José for Pride 2024. Participants walked along Paseo Colón in defense of the rights of the LGBT population, through Paseo Colón and Avenida Segunda and arrived at the Plaza de la Democracia, where a concert was held to close the activity. Participants carried gay pride flags, quirky hats, crowns, masks, balloons, and flowers. Many walked with banners calling for the end of prejudice and discrimination. “The organization of the Grand Diversity March would like to thank everyone for an attendance that far exceeded all of our expectations. We believe it is the best-attended march in our 15 years of hosting this event,” said PrideCR. They also mentioned that 13 delegations were present. Among them were the embassies of the United States, Canada, Mexico, the Netherlands, Chile, and representatives of the European Union.
