Brighton Pride 2023

The biggest pride event in the UK is back this year from 4th-7th August in Brighton’s Preston Park. This year, it is dubbed Fabuloso in the Park and will have a main stage with an infamous lineup (which they are still working on), cabaret stages, the QTIPOC stage and two dance tents. Brighton Pride organisers have already said they are bringing new and immersive experiences to this years’ pride. 

There will of course be a parade on Saturday 5th August, with the theme ‘Dare To Be Different.’ Parade applications are now open, follow this link to apply: https://www.brighton-pride.org/pride-parade-2023-applications/

Brighton Pride History

Brighton and Hove Pride started in October 1972 with a gay demonstration by the Sussex Gay Liberation Front. In July 1973, there was the first full Pride march in Brighton.

After this, Pride returned to the city in 1991 with a weekend’s worth of events that brought hundreds of people to the streets of the town.

Another significant milestone for Brighton Pride was its relocation to Preston Park in 1996.

In 2002, Brighton and Hove Pride agreed to include references to the transgender community, making this Pride celebration an event for the full LGBT community for the first time.

From fighting for important issues to celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community, since its founding back in 1972, Brighton Pride has been a place for people of all sexualities to come together and celebrate their differences.
