Brighton Pride

PRIDE PARADE
The Pride Community Parade is one of the biggest and brightest events in Brighton & Hove’s diary, with over 300,000 people pouring out into the city’s streets to participate in and watch on as an all-singing, all-dancing carnival of colour wends its way from the seafront to the festival site.
Every year, participants include Brighton & Hove Pride’s partners and sponsors, local community groups, representatives from political parties and faith groups, the NHS, Brighton Housing Trust, Sussex Police, Sussex Fire services, the Girl Guides, Scouts, trade unions, and a number of major brands showing their support for diversity, alongside a selection of performers, musicians and artists.
Flamboyant, vibrant and colourful, the Brighton & Hove Pride Parade is matched in size in the UK as an LGBTQ+ event only by London Pride - and is a show-stopping spectacle not to be missed. With ‘Colour my World’ announced as this year’s theme, the parade promises to take on a uniquely global - and eye-poppingly technicolour - hue, so be sure to find yourself a good spot on the packed pavements from which to watch as the spectacle goes by. On top of all the music, floats, bands, costumes and dancing - the parade also carries the message of love, unity, and support for the worldwide LGBTQ+ community that is at the heart of everything that Brighton & Hove Pride does.
PRIDE FESTIVAL
A dazzling display of inclusivity, and just about as much fun as you can have with your clothes on, the Brighton & Hove Pride Festival in Preston Park is the beating heart of every year’s event.
And with Britney Spears set to take to the stage on Saturday - as well as the addition of a whole day of acts on Sunday for the very first time in Pride’s history, this looks set to be a Pride to go down in history.
Described by The Guardian as “the country’s most popular LGBT+ event,” tens of thousands of partygoers have come out in years gone by to see a host of performances from international superstars Sister Sledge, Carly Rae Jepsen, Pet Shop Boys, Years & Years, Fatboy Slim, Katy B, Ruby Rose, The Human League, Fleur East, Alesha Dixon, Ella Henderson, Boy George, Alison Moyet, Paloma Faith, Blue, Tulisa, Collabro, and Ms Dynamite amongst others.
As revellers flood into Brighton from around the world to party alongside city residents, Preston Park is transformed into a paradisiacal playground of performance and dance tents, a wellbeing field, and a bevy of the finest food and drink options to keep you fuelled throughout the day.
The Brighton & Hove Pride team always put a good time first and foremost in mind for the Pride festival, and we’d like to extend a special thank you to everyone who has bought a ticket. If you see an official Pride representative shaking a bucket throughout the day, please don’t be shy - and feel free to add further to the fundraising efforts that lie at the heart of what Pride is all about.
