Edinburgh Pride 2026 Scotland

Info

Edinburgh Pride takes place on Saturday 20th June 2026.

Pride Edinburgh is Scotland's national LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) Festival. Run entirely by volunteers, we organise both a pride march and a community based festival to celebrate diversity and personal identity. The traditional pride march and rally provides a platform for politicians, community activists, celebrities and most importantly individuals to turn out to march through the city centre to celebrate pride. The festival encompasses live music, DJs and a health and community fair. Pride Scotia is held in Edinburgh every two years.
