Opening Ceremony & Welcome Party

Saturday, June 27 at 7:30pm | Ciutat de València Stadium

The global arena opens its doors. Next Saturday, June 27th, the iconic Estadi Ciutat de València will be the setting for an unforgettable opening ceremony—a moment when the world unites under a single flag: the flag of diversity.

The start of an adventure Starting at 7:30 PM, we will celebrate our community, our city, and our stories—both individual and shared. The evening will be hosted by the incomparable Choriza May, our most international drag queen, who will guide us through a ceremony and party integrated into a single spectacle of pure energy.

A stellar lineup Music will be the thread running through our welcome, with performances that celebrate our identity:

  • Voices and bands: We will be joined by the Gay Games XII band, the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington DC, the Cor a Cor de València, and the voice of Mia Collado.

  • Featured artists: We will enjoy the talent of Fruela and the sweeping energy of Soraya Arnelas and Mónica Naranjo.

  • The grand finale: As a grand conclusion, the party will continue with Suri DJ, who will keep us dancing to the best national and international hits before our week of competition begins.

It will be a night to enjoy, applaud, and share something memorable.

Don’t miss this explosion of diversity where València opens up to the world and the world lands in València!
