[title]Last year’s pride rocked our socks off, with performances from the Black Eyed Peas, Confidence Man, Zara Larsson and more. The 2024 edition promises just as much fun, music, and shenanigans in a huge celebration of the LGBTQ commuity.
A three-day event, Pride is arguably the highlight of this city’s cultural calendar, consisting of the famous parade along the seafront, as well as the Pride in the Park festival and Pride Village. The entire thing also offers an excellent chance to see one of the UK’s LGBTQ capitals in its prime at the very height of summer. Here’s everything you need to know about Brighton Pride 2024.
