  Novi Sad Pride (Serbian Cyrillic: Новосадска парада поноса, Hungarian: Újvidéki büszkeség felvonulás,) is a pride parade held in Novi Sad, second largest city in Serbia and administrative center of Vojvodina organized to celebrate the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people and their allies. The event, attended by city officials and members of diplomatic missions in Serbia, was organized for the first time in May 2019 at the central Republic Square. Attended by around 200 people, 2019 pride was the first ever gay parade in Serbia to be held outside of Belgrade. The first pride was organized as the end event of the Pride Week in Novi Sad. It was organized on the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia.
