Edinburgh Pride

Pride Edinburgh is set to return this summer, bringing colour, community, and celebration to the heart of the city. Following a challenging year for LGBTQIA+ communities, there has never been a more important time to come together in solidarity. As Scotland’s longest-running free LGBTQIA+ event, Pride represents a proud moment of unity and visibility for people from all walks of life.

The day begins at the Scottish Parliament, where marchers will gather before setting off at 1:00 pm, winding through the historic streets of Edinburgh on a route that takes in the Canongate, Royal Mile, and George IV Bridge. It’s a joyful, powerful moment of solidarity that leads to the Pride Festival Village at the EUSA Complex, where the celebrations continue in full swing.

Expect a vibrant atmosphere packed with live music, performances, community stalls, and more, all designed to uplift and bring people together. Inside McEwan Hall, the Community Fair offers a space to connect with local organisations and services supporting the LGBTQIA+ community. 

Following the march, the party really kicks off at Bristo Square, with a host of world-famous artists including Cher Lloyd due to perform on the mainstage, plus performances from some of the UK's best loved Drag Queens.

With all of this to enjoy and more, plus a range of exceptional nightlife events for those looking for an afterparty, join the action in Edinburgh this June.
