Levenshulme Pride 2024

Info

Levenshulme Pride takes place from the 9th to 11th August 2024.

Levenshulme Pride was started because a couple walking down the A6 holding hands were called ‘faggots’. In an instant, a pleasant walk in the sunshine became a homophobic hate crime. Just like that. Very casual. No big deal. Except we think it is a big deal! There was a discussion online where people were both appalled and supportive. What could be done? Well, Levenshulme Pride is what can be done. Levenshulme is a diverse, supportive, energetic and wonderful place to live, but it faces challenges. What better way to counteract hatred than to show the pride we have in our community, the pride we have as LGBT+ people, the pride we have as we come together as a community to celebrate the variety of people living here and the strength that comes from that?

Highlights this year include the Opening Concert from Levy Choir, Levenshulme Pride March (with free placard making at two venues), Cabaret Night, DJs across multiple nights and venues, Quiz Nights, Pride Run, Stalls, RuPanda’s Drag Race, Line Dancing, Karaoke, Artbeats art show & market, Dog Show, Stalls, Vigil and Closing Party. All events and activities at Levenshulme Pride are FREE.
