Reading Pride 2023 England

Info

The Love Unites 2023 Parade & Festival in Reading takes place on Saturday, 2nd September 2023.

We work throughout the year to promote equality and to celebrate the very best of the LGBT+ community. Get involved with this year's FREE-to-enter Pride Parade & Festival and share your stories of #LoveUnites. Reading Pride was formed in 2003 to represent and support the local LGBT+ community.
