Birmingham Pride will take place over the weekend 23/25th May 2025. Birmingham Pride held its first event back in 1997. Over the following 25 years Birmingham Pride has become one of the most important LGBTQ+ festivals in the UK attracting in excess of 40,000 people over the course of the weekend to the festival sites in the heart of the LGBTQ+ village and over 75,000 participating in or watching our annual pride parade through the streets of Birmingham. Parade Saturday 24th May Starts at 12:00 and leaves from Centenary Square, Birmingham City Centre. The Birmingham Pride parade is FREE to view, but you do need to register to take part. The parade starts making its way through the city from 12 noon, ending in the LGBTQ+ Village, where people then make their way to the main festival activities. Our Pride Parade is a march for equality and justice, after all, there is no pride without protest. Our protest is relevant until every injustice to LGBTQ+ people around the world is brought to an end and universal equality is achieved. The vibrant parade is also a celebration of LGBTQ+ life, demonstrating our contribution to our community and our city. Street party The Birmingham Pride street party is held on Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th May in the heart of the pride Village centred around Hurst Street, Bromsgrove Street, Kent Street and Lower Essex Street.
