The story
Belfast Pride in Belfast
Northern Ireland's largest Pride builds over more than a week of talks, film screenings and community events toward a city-centre parade through Belfast, followed by stage entertainment and stalls at a central gathering point. Given Northern Ireland's later and more contested path to LGBTQ+ legal equality compared to the rest of the UK, the event carries a political weight some longer-settled Prides elsewhere have shed.
Belfast Pride runs Northern Ireland's largest annual LGBTQ+ celebration, building over more than a week of events toward a city-centre parade that has grown from a small march in the 1990s into one of the biggest single-day public gatherings in Belfast's calendar.
