Summer is Not Over, Loads of Prides September 2021

Painting the world Pink - PinkUk's newsletter, No. 17

Rotterdam pride 2021, Netherlands. The 2021 festival will take place 17 - 26 September. One of many pride festivals happening in September.

So, in other words, a backlog of Prides! Wow. Hurray!
According to PinkUk’s latest info, there are 29 UK Pride festivals happening in September. It’s great news to see more pride festivals than usual for this time of year. We’ve compiled a list of UK Prides that are running in September.

However, it’s heart-breaking that some UK major pride festivals have been postponed or cancelled. All three of the major UK Pride organisers cancelled their main events – that’s London, Manchester and Brighton & Hove.

But back to the good news: please look at our pride pages - there are loads happening across the UK this month and see what takes your fancy!

Love & Pink Respect from Dave & the team,
