Parade
Saturday 29th July
The parade leaves at 1pm sharp. The route for Belfast Pride Parade 2023 is the same as the route in 2022. We aim to find the best way to fit everyone in, keep everyone safe and still get maximum visibility for the community. The Belfast Pride Parade is the main event in the LGBTQIA+ calendar, a major city event and the biggest cross community parade in Belfast. It is a protest and a celebration, a call for equality, a stand for solidarity and a celebration of the lives of LGBTQIA+ people in Belfast and beyond. In 2022, we had over 70,000 people attend and this year we hope to break that record. We want to bring our community and our city together again to celebrate LGBTQIA+ lives and continue to protest for full equality.
