Margate Pride 2023 Kent

Info

Margate Pride takes place on Saturday the 12th August 2023.

Margate Pride Manifesto : Margate Pride is a culture rich contemporary pride. A celebration of all of Thanet’s queerness and LGBTQI life. Gay, straight, everything, nothing and all the in-between – if you don’t feel represented, get in touch.

Margate Pride CIC is a not for profit community interest company led by LGBTQIA artists to celebrate the diversity of love in Margate. Margate Pride is not just a parade for the day. It’s an expression of the whole community. We really want you to make it your own.

Parade
4pm - 6pm, from The Oval Bandstand. The parade will start on Eastern Esplanade, alongside the Oval Bandstand, and take us along the seafront to the Clock Tower on Marine Drive. To be in the parade, you need to register as an individual or part of a group.
