Belfast Gay Pride – Belfast Pride is a protest for Equality and a celebration of the LGBTQ community in Belfast.

Belfast Pride is now one of the biggest festivals in Belfast and biggest Pride festival in Ireland, bringing tens of thousands to ten full days of events. Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Belfast Pride 2015

Belfast Pride Festival aims to represent and promote the visibility of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered and Queer community in Belfast and continues to build on its successes over the years, delivering a dynamic and diverse programme of events for all.

The festival offers a ten day long programme of events, culminating on Pride Day with the annual Pride Parade through Belfast City Centre, Party in the Square and Pride Village.

Pride is celebrated around the world near the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots in New York City in June 1969, which were the start of the modern fight for equality of rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) people. The first Pride parade in Belfast was organised in June 1991 and 2015 is our 25th Anniversary year.

Belfast Pride is an inclusive voluntary organisation that seeks to promote equality, visibility and inclusion for the LGBTQ+ community in Belfast. We celebrate the culture, diversity and history of the LGBTQ+ community by delivering a range of events open to everyone that encourage interaction, collaboration and mutual understanding.

Belfast Pride is Ireland’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender festival and ranks in the top ten largest pride parades in the United Kingdom!

We celebrate our diversity with a week long celebration which take place at the end of July and feature a programme of events which we are sure appeals to even the most diverse range of tastes.

As a fully volunteer led organisation of just eight people, we all devote our time and skills at no cost to help Belfast celebrate the diversity that’s on offer within the lesbian, gay and bi-sexual community.

The theme for Belfast Pride 2014 is: Diverse. Equal. Proud.

From 25th July to 2nd August 2014 Belfast Pride will put the struggle for equality at the centre of Pride and will put Pride at the centre of the city. Belfast Pride aims to inspire, educate, entertain and represent our diverse community.

DIVERSE

Including and representing the full range of identities under the LGBTQ+ umbrella.  We all just want to live our lives on an equal basis with the rest of the citizens of the city.

EQUAL

Full Marriage Equality for all, to be able to help save lives by donating blood, more robust protection from Homophobia and Bullying on the streets, in schools, in Health Services and equal treatment and respect from government and our elected representatives. We want full Equality – no more and no less.

PROUD

Pride is a time for Visibility, Positivity and Celebration. We want to showcase the talent, creativity, history and culture of the LGBTQ+ community in Belfast, bringing colour, fun and entertainment across a packed festival programme.  We are proud of who we are.
