Get ready to glitter, groove, and gather – Brighton & Hove Pride is bringing the party to Marine Parade this August with a reimagined and radiant Pride Street Party that’s all about community, celebration, and unapologetic joy.
On 2–3 August, Marine Parade will transform into a vibrant playground of stages, beats and bold queer energy. Expect a fierce drag stage, pumping music zones, delicious food, and enhanced headline entertainment that’ll keep you dancing all weekend long. There’s even daytime clubbing and a full takeover of New Steine Gardens for community vibes and dazzling performances.
Revenge and Charles Street are back to host the fan-favourite Dance Zone, while Patterns will bring you an Ibiza-style outdoor terrace for sunny (or rainy) daytime dancing. New this year? Head over to the Street Party Stage curated by The Queens Arms to see all your fave LGBTQIA stars and a spectacular Sunday night finale.
Centre Stage and Marine Tavern will be rolling out camp classics and top-tier queer talent on their brand new outdoor stage, while The Camelford Arms will introduce a new bears DJ bar on New Steine for those cool and chill vibes.
In a shift to ensure a safer and more sustainable Pride, the official entertainment will move away from St James’ Street – though the beloved local businesses there will remain open and ready to welcome the crowds.
Don’t miss out – early bird tickets are coming soon, and the legendary Pride Campsite is back too, starting at just £18.50 per night. And yes, GTR & Southern Trains are planning extra trains to help everyone get in and out with ease.
Brighton Pride is evolving, and this year it’s all about lifting up the local LGBTQIA scene. Stay tuned for lineup announcements and grab your feather boas!
