Brighton Pride is the biggest LGBTQ+ event in the UK, drawing visitors from across Europe every August. The weekend kicks off with the parade, winding through the city streets in a colourful display of floats, music and costumes. Thousands line the route before heading to the festival in Preston Park, where live music, DJs and performances take over for the day.
The Pride Village Party fills St James’s Street and Kemptown with bars, food stalls and outdoor stages, creating a giant street party atmosphere. Beyond the main events, clubs and bars across Brighton host special nights, making the city buzz from morning until sunrise. The mix of seaside setting, large crowds and celebratory spirit gives Brighton Pride its unique flavour.
While tickets are needed for the park festival, much of the weekend spills into public spaces, keeping the vibe accessible to all who want to join the party.
