According to the announcements, the opera singer Nade Talevska, as well as other queens from the country and the region will perform at the ARM stadium. Andrej Micajkov, Jana Todorovska, Martina Peneva and Ginger will have their own DJ sets.

"Pride is a cry on behalf of the millions of people facing social exclusion, impaired physical autonomy and limited access to services that are available to everyone else. "Skopje Pride, like other pride parades, is a holiday of love, a day of visibility of the marginalized and, of course, an occasion to celebrate the toughness of our struggle for equality," said the organizers of the National Network against Homophobia and Transphobia (NMHT). .
