Manchester Pride: dates, parade, tickets, line-up and everything you demand to know

Manchester is known as one of the proudest LGBTQ+ cities in the world – and for fine reason. Canal Street and the gay village have always been more than a collection of bars, clubs and businesses. Together, they’re a movement, and a community of people not ‘accepted’ or ‘tolerated’ but embraced.

This year Manchester Pride is placing an even greater emphasis on community, fundraising and political advocacy than ever. Here’s everything you need to realize about the celebrations, including the full line-up and how to get tickets.

When is Manchester Pride ?

Manchester Pride will be taking place between Friday August 26 to Monday August  Punters can expect the traditional city-centre parade, the Village Party, the Pride festival, a Human Rights Forum, and a candlelit vigil to shut the weekend.

When is the Manchester Pride parade?

The parade will take place on Saturday August 27 from 12pm. This year’s theme is ‘March for Peace&rs

Manchester Pride in photos

Last weekend the streets of Manchester filled with rainbows, glitter, feathers, and good vibes for the first time since Harry Styles performed at Old Trafford, all thanks to Manchester Pride. 

We had a chat with some Pride icons about everything that's changed surrounding the event this year, and we also sent photographer Chris Keller-Jackson to take some exclusive snaps at the march for peace parade, the village party, and just in and around the bustling streets on bank holiday weekend.

Be prepared for pink cowboy hats, drag-filled floats, and a giant rainbow dove thrown in for good measure. Transmit it to your mates if you spot them in the crowd.
