Manchester Pride 2020

Info

Covid-19
Unfortunately, Manchester Pride has been postponed due to circumstances of Covid-19.

The Manchester Pride Festival 2019 takes place on 28th - 31st August 2020.
Manchester Pride campaigns for LGBT+ equality; celebrates LGBT+ life and creates opportunities that engage LGBT+ people so that they can thrive.

Parade:
The Manchester Pride Parade is one of The Festival's most highly anticipated events, with thousands of people marching proudly together through the streets of Manchester in front of tens of thousands of supporters cheering them along the way.
This year's Manchester Pride Parade was our biggest and boldest yet, with a whopping 205 organisations and 14,000 participants filling the streets with colour!

Gay Village Party
The roots of Manchester Pride and the Festival are firmly in the heart of our world-famous Gay Village.
Taking place over all 4 days of the bank holiday weekend, the Gay Village Party proved to be the ultimate street party celebration as the sun shone down on the much loved cobbled streets!
With community performances in Sackville Gardens, plus markets and parties across The Gay Village’s venues, the Gay Village Party continued to be home to the hub of the festival’s celebrations.
Bringing together all of the different members of our LGBT+ family we hosted a Family Zone, Trans Pride, The Expo, Sing-A-Long Cinema, The Fetish Emporium, Sackville Square Fair, the Silent Disco and more.
Gay Village Party tickets are subsidised by Manchester Pride. The cost helps us deliver a safe, community pride celebration.

Youth Pride
In 2019, Youth Pride MCR was our first event especially curated for the younger members of our LGBT+ family.
This unique event brought together creativity, fashion, music and more, as we created a safe and nourishing space for young people aged 14+, who wanted to experience Pride in a way that was designed just for them.
The event took place at YES, a venue located on Charles Street just a 5 minute walk from The Gay Village Party.

Manchester special Youth Pride MCR parade entry took to the streets as part of the Manchester Pride Parade.
The troupe then headed to YES for an incredible programme of specially curated events including drag performances and make-up masterclasses, yoga, badge making, crystal stoning, a sensory area and more, and even a surprise performance from Olly Alexander of Years & Years!
