Saturday 30th May 2026 – York Pride Returns!
York Pride is back for another spectacular celebration of love, equality, and community.
Join thousands on the Knavesmire for a day packed with music, colour, and unity as we proudly fly the rainbow once again across York.
York Pride 2025 – What a Day to Remember
York, you did us proud once again! On Saturday 7 June, more than 17,500 people filled the city with colour, laughter, and love – making York Pride 2025 our biggest celebration yet.
From the new parade route through Parliament Street to the incredible energy of the Main Stage, the day was packed with unforgettable performances from Angels of the North, La Voix, Kerry Ellis, The Cheeky Girls and many more. York came alive with unity, pride, and pure joy.
Thank You, York
Whether you marched, danced, performed, volunteered, or cheered from the crowd, you made Pride happen. Every smile, flag wave, and song helped create a day our city will never forget.

Award Winning York Pride
York LGBT Pride continued to shine in 2025, building on an incredible year of recognition and achievement. After winning both the Yorkshire Post Tourism Award 2024 and the YorkMix Choice Award 2024—a title voted for by the public—York Pride has firmly established itself as one of the city’s most loved and anticipated events.
These awards, alongside being finalists in the Visit York Awards (2024 and 2025) and the Little Vikings Awards, highlight our ongoing commitment to delivering a truly inclusive, family-friendly festival that welcomes everyone.
Each milestone reflects the heart of York Pride: a celebration that brings tens of thousands of people together to honour diversity, unity, and community spirit.
For sponsors and partners, York Pride represents an exceptional opportunity to stand alongside values that matter—inclusivity, visibility, and positive social impact. Supporting York Pride means joining a movement that reaches a vibrant and engaged audience, both across Yorkshire and beyond.
We’re proud to have once again been nominated for the YorkMix Choice Award 2025. Voting has now closed—thank you to everyone who supported us. Keep watching this space as we look ahead to York Pride 2026, set to be our most exciting year yet.
