Reading Pride 2024 Berkshire

Info

The Love Unites 2024 Parade & Festival in Reading takes place on Saturday, 31st August 2024.

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. Since the first Festival in 2004 attendance has grown steadily year-on-year with over 15,000 people visiting the event throughout the day and well over 3,000 participating in the Parade.

Parade

The Love Unites 2024 Parade brings the spirit of Pride to the centre of Reading and provides an opportunity for groups, organisations and individuals to show their support for both Pride and the ongoing campaign for equality. We have teamed up with local radio station B Radio Berkshire who will be broadcasting live throughout the Parade as we march.
