Velvet-Club Connecting Lesbians & Bi-women around the World
Bristol Pride takes place over the weekend 8/9 July 2023. Bristol Pride is a unique and important event that celebrates the LGBTQ+ community and offers the chance to connect and bring people together. Were thrilled that the festival will return this summer and span two weeks. During the two weeks, our exciting programme of events will take place in venues across Bristol, bringing the city alive with Pride. Parade The parade will gather at Castle Park from 10am and will depart at 10.45am. The route is approximately 2 miles long and will take about 1 hour to complete. The Parade March is what Pride is, and we are incredibly excited about returning to the streets for Pride Day on Saturday, 8 July. Pride is a protest! We use our political voice to amplify, maintain and further LGBT+ human rights in Bristol and beyond. It is a bold statement for equality, diversity and inclusion, to celebrate our community and to show that hatred and prejudice have no place in our city, or anywhere. We encourage community groups, charities, public sector organisations and businesses who actively support LGBT+ human rights to join us. Festival Saturday, 8 July Multi-award-winning and one of the largest free Pride events in the UK, we cant wait to welcome you back to Pride Day! After an incredible 40,000 people to The Downs in 2019, we are excited to return to our new home after doubling our capacity and introducing new festival areas.
