In the Yarkon area, under the command of Deputy Commissioner Tzachi Sharabi, preparations are underway for the arrival of 60,000 LGBTQ+ participants, along with tens of thousands of additional family members and young people who will come to enjoy the vibrant and colorful folklore that has become a hallmark of the event in recent years.
A total of 1,600 police officers, alongside hundreds of volunteers, the city’s SLA unit, security personnel, stewards, and municipal police, will be on hand to ensure the event runs smoothly.
Their mission is to prevent security incidents and thwart any attempts to disrupt the event or incite actions that might offend the feelings of the LGBTQ+ community.
Starting in the early hours of Friday, all streets near the western part of Tel Aviv, close to the beach, will be closed to vehicular traffic in preparation for the Pride Parade.
The parade is set to begin at 1:00 pm and will continue until 6:30 pm Streets adjacent to Herbert Samuel and Charles Clore will serve as pathways for the marchers, while two large stages have been set up on Charles Clore, bordering the beach, to host artists who will entertain the participants.

The Tel Aviv-Yaffo municipality announced the pride parade, which will conclude at Charles Clore Park, on its official website.
"As Israel marks one year since the war that deeply impacted the nation, the LGBTQ+ community reflects on its powerful mobilization during this time—both in contribution and in loss. The call is clear: equality must extend beyond death and be part of daily life," the municipality stated.
"A longstanding tradition since 1998, Tel Aviv's Pride events celebrate equality and acceptance, reinforcing the city's status as a global symbol of LGBTQ+ inclusion and resilience," the municipality wrote.
