Bristol Pride is a unique and important event that celebrates the LGBT+ community and offers the chance to connect and bring people together.

As well as showcasing our wonderfully diverse community, Pride is about overcoming prejudice, hatred, reducing isolation and showing members of the LGBT+ community that they are not alone.

We’re thrilled that the festival will return this summer and span two weeks from Saturday 25 June – Monday 11 July.

During the two weeks, our exciting programme of events will take place in venues across Bristol bringing the city alive with Pride. Our spectacular Pride Day headlined by Carly Rae Jepsen will be taking place on Saturday 9 July on The Downs.

This year will also see the return of the Pride Parade March, louder and prouder than ever as we mark the 50th anniversary of the first pride march in the UK.  It is a chance to be visible and, importantly, it serves as a reminder that the LGBT+ community continues to fight for equality.
