Isle of Wight Pride 2019

Info

The 2019 event will build on the legacy created from the island’s first pride in 2017 and the hosting of UK Pride last year, none of which would have been possible without the dedicated work and passion of a committed group of people, including the former trustees who had a vision for what needed to be done.

The day will start with a colourful parade from Queens Road, Ryde, at midday. Following the same route as last year, the Parade will celebrate equality and diversity 50 years on from the landmark Stonewall riots in New York, the start of the Pride movement.

On the seafront, the parade will finish at Eastern Gardens at the Pride Community Village where local charities, traders and community groups will have stalls open from 12pm until 6pm.

Ryde Superbowl are hosting Isle of Wight Pride 2019. Music will be provided to bring a party atmosphere to the Pride Community Village with their bars serving beer and cocktails and a barbecue area for food until 8pm. There will be a chance to escape from the heat of the sun (the forecast is hot, hot, hot) and enjoy further entertainment and music inside the bar. For something a bit different, 1Leisure will offer activities by the Harbour during the afternoon.

From 1pm and into the evening, a number of partner venues in Union Street will have entertainment. This along with the many planned shop window displays will help us to Pride-up Ryde as part of this year’s event.
