The Pride LGBTQ+ Community Parade is one of the undisputed highlights of the Brighton & Hove Pride weekend and is a glorious showcase of the city’s charities, community groups and small businesses as well as the invaluable emergency services, the NHS and statutory partners.

It is one of the biggest and brightest events in Brighton & Hove’s calendar, with over 300,000 people thronging the city’s streets to participate in and watch the parade of community and campaign groups, and the all-singing, all-dancing carnival of colour as it wends its way from Hove Lawns to Preston Park for We Are Fabuloso, the official Brighton & Hove Pride charity fundraiser.

The 30th anniversary is the perfect time to reaffirm our campaign commitments. With community at its heart, LOVE · PROTEST · UNITY will bring the city together to remember, to celebrate and to campaign.
