Last updated 28th Aug 2018
The streets of Manchester are set to be taken over by troupes of performers, acrobats and wonderful characters as "The Circus of Acceptance" takes over this year's Manchester Pride Parade.
Hits Radio will join the thousands taking part in the parade. We'll gather our clowns and jesters and proudly march in the this highly anticipated event.
The Manchester Pride Parade will take place on Saturday 25th August on the streets of the city and will feature 150 entries and 5000 participants plus thousands more who turn out to cheer them along the way.
The parade theme is designed to shine a light on the issues of equality and is a creative way of reminding people of Manchester that acceptance of peoples differences is a vital step in continued progress for quality for all.
There are many millions of individuals that exist within Greater Manchester. Each different to the other. This is the same within the LGBT+ communities here and around the world.
With the Circus of Acceptance as the theme for The Manchester Pride Parade, the Pride Festival will be proudly showcasing and celebrating the richly diverse LGBT+ people of our City. They're inviting the people of Manchester to join in or come along to be entertained, to be inspired, and to be proud!
The Manchester Pride Festival is Manchester Pride’s flagship event that takes place over August bank holiday weekend.
With its roots in the heart of Manchester’s world famous Gay Village, the festival is made up of The Big Weekend, The Manchester Pride Parade on Saturday afternoon, the alcohol free space that is The Superbia Weekend and the culmination of the festival The Candlelit Vigil.
