MCR Pride

Join thousands in Manchester’s iconic Gay Village for four unforgettable days of protest, passion, and pure joy. As a charity-led festival, every single ticket purchase directly supports and funds grassroots LGBTQ+ communities across Greater Manchester.

The weekend kicks off with the legendary Pride Parade on Saturday 29 August, where the entire city explodes into a spectacular march of color, activism, and community spirit. Afterward, dive straight into the heart of the action at the world-famous Village Party, featuring an incredible lineup of live music and global artists performing across multiple vibrant stages.

For those seeking alternative ways to celebrate, the Superbia Weekend offers a beautifully curated, alcohol-free space packed with culturally rich arts, theater, and premiere performances. Families can also connect and create lasting memories in our dedicated Family Pride zone, designed to provide safe, playful, and inclusive spaces for all generations. Finally, the weekend closes with the deeply moving Candlelit Vigil, bringing everyone together in Sackville Gardens for a peaceful moment of reflection to remember those we have lost and stand united against stigma.
