Parade
Saturday 25th May Starts at noon and leaves from Centernary Square, Birmingham City Centre. The Birmingham Pride parade is FREE to view, but you do need to register to take part. The parade starts making its way through the city from 12 noon, ending in the LGBTQ+ Village, where people then make their way to the main festival activities. Our Pride Parade is a march for equality and justice, after all, there is no pride without protest. Our protest is relevant until every injustice to LGBTQ+ people around the world is brought to an end and universal equality is achieved. The vibrant parade is also a celebration of LGBTQ+ life, demonstrating our contribution to our community and our city.
