Until 2009, the March of Tolerance was organized by the Culture for Tolerance Foundation (Fundacja Kultura dla Tolerancji) together with other LGBT organizations, as part of the annual Kraków Gay and Lesbian Culture Festival "Culture for Tolerance" (Kultura dla Tolerancji). The first parade took place in May 2004. About 1200 people took part in it. Since 2009, an informal organizing committee for the May Queer Festival has been organized by the LGBTQ organizations in Kraków and private individuals. Since 2010 it has been held under the Equality March in Krakow name (Marsz Równości w Krakowie).
The March of Tolerance arouses opposition from conservative circles, especially from the far-right and ultranationalist groups. It was always accompanied by a counter-meeting organized by All-Polish Youth on the same day.
