Leicester Pride Saturday 2 September.
Every year the LGBT community in Leicester comes together to march through the city centre in a vibrant parade that marks the beginning of the festival.
Please note that no glass bottles are allowed on the parade and much of the route runs through the cities alcohol free zones.
This year we are significantly increasing security on the parade. We now require all groups of people greater than 5 to register or you may not be able to take part on the day. We may also ask to search your belongings at any point in the parade. Please be aware that this is ensure everyone’s safety following recent events in Manchester & London.
Below is a map of the parade route. The parade starts at 12 noon and arrives at the park for 1pm.
