Parade
The parade starts at 12:00 and arrives at the park at 13:00. The new parade route is longer and passes through more areas of the city centre. The parade still begins at The Curve Theatre with the route through The Lanes, Jubilee Square and along High Street before proceeding to Abbey Park. The total distance is 1.7 miles. Leicester Pride invite everyone to join us on the parade, although they ask that larger groups register via the website so that we can plan the order and layout. Please note that no glass bottles are allowed on the parade, and much of the route runs through the city's alcohol-free zones.
