Bristol Pride 2023 Somerset

Info

Bristol Pride takes place from the 24th June to the 9th July 2023.

Bristol Pride is a unique and important event that celebrates the LGBTQ+ community and offers the chance to connect and bring people together. We’re thrilled that the festival will return this summer and span two weeks. During the two weeks, our exciting programme of events will take place in venues across Bristol, bringing the city alive with Pride. 2022 saw 40,000 people join us on The Downs, with 20,000 on the Parade March.

Pride day is on Saturday the 8th July.
Parade
The parade will gather at Castle Park from 10am and will depart at 10.45am.
The route is approximately 2 miles long and will take about 1 hour to complete. The Parade March is what Pride is, and we are incredibly excited about returning to the streets for Pride Day on Saturday, 8 July. Pride is a protest! We use our political voice to amplify, maintain and further LGBT+ human rights in Bristol and beyond. It is a bold statement for equality, diversity and inclusion, to celebrate our community and to show that hatred and prejudice have no place in our city, or anywhere. We encourage community groups, charities, public sector organisations and businesses who actively support LGBT+ human rights to join us.
