While June is officially Pride Month , many cities and towns will be hosting their Pride events and parades over the summer – and they can range from small-scale marches to huge affairs with celebrity performers. Pride celebrations honour the LGBTQ+ community and bring together people from across the UK. Parades are a Pride staple , and consist of individuals marching together with floats made by community groups, charities, and companies. Let’s take a look at the Pride parades set to take place over the coming months, including the full list of events on this summer… London Pride will be held on July 5th and will be welcoming headline act Chaka Khan onto the Trafalgar Square stage. There will be more than 100 artists performing around central London on six different stages, including Trafalgar Square, Leicester Square, Golden Square, Soho Square, Dean Street, and a Family Stage.
