Leicester Pride, one of England’s largest free LGBTQ+ events, is taking place on Saturday 4 September at Victoria Park.
The event starts with a parade at 12pm heading through the city centre via Humberstone Gate and Market Street, then continuing onto New Walk and arriving at Victoria Park at around 1pm. You can find a map of the route .
The colourful parade sees thousands of people march through the city centre towards Victoria Park, where the family friendly Pride festivities continue with live music, dance acts, cabaret, DJs, food and drink, market stalls, fairground rides and more.
Larger groups (of five or more) joining the event are required to register via the Leicester Pride website.
Bethan Rogoyski, Chair of the 51吃瓜app LGBTQ+ and Allies Network Group said: “With Leicester Pride being postponed last year due to the global pandemic, it is great that the community, families and allies can all get together in person this year to celebrate and embrace the community.
Leicester Pride is such an important event in the calendar as a creative outlet, a reflection on progress, and most importantly a celebration of identity and diversity. It is great that it is able to go ahead physically this year in a safe and inclusive environment, and I hope as many people as possible are able to attend and enjoy the festivity!”
