About this event
The "3rd Kochi Nijiiro Parade," held on Saturday, November 21, 2026, at Marunouchi Ryokuchi in Kochi City, is an event aimed at deepening understanding of sexual minorities (LGBTQ+). Organized by the NPO Rainbow Kochi, the parade provides an opportunity to widely share that LGBTQ+ individuals live in Kochi too, and to promote awareness of sexual minorities. On the day, Marriage for All Japan will host a booth and hold the "YES to Marriage Equality!" exhibition for the first time in Kochi Prefecture. Banners and placards will be available to lend to parade participants, and starting around 15:15, a talk session featuring Kansai lawsuit plaintiffs Yuki Kawata and Akiyoshi Tanaka (the Kawata-Tanaka family) along with members of the Kyushu lawsuit legal team is scheduled, allowing attendees to hear the latest news about the court cases. An after-party drinking gathering is also planned following the parade.
