Brighton & Hove Pride 2025 is nearly here, and from 2–3 August the city will come alive with its most vibrant, inclusive, and joyous celebration yet.

Kicking off Saturday 2 August, the LGBTQ+ Community Parade travels from Hove Lawns through the heart of Brighton to Preston Park. With the theme “Ravishing Rage”, it combines protest and celebration—marching with resilience, spirit, and vibrant solidarity.

Pride on the Park, Brighton Pride’s flagship fundraising festival, spans Saturday and Sunday (2–3 August) at Preston Park. This year’s event is headlined by pop legends Mariah Carey (UK festival exclusive) and Sugababes, joined by a stellar roster including Fatboy Slim, Will Young, Loreen, Natalie Imbruglia, Ashnikko, Confidence Man, Ultra Naté, and Sister Sledge featuring Kathy Sledge.

Expect over 150 LGBTQ+ artists across stages like Cocoa Butter Club, The Pleasuredome, Legends Cabaret, Dance Big Top, and the Provocative Queertown space. Community and family zones, cabaret performances, and a fairground complete the picture.

Over Saturday and Sunday, the revamped Street Party takes over Marine Parade—closed to traffic and buzzing with music zones, drag stages, outdoor bars, and community activities. The layout now integrates local LGBTQ+ venues to deliver safer, more accessible spaces.

The entertainment lineup features top acts including Danny Beard, Tayce, Sonia, Freemasons, Jaguar, and more—curated stages like the Drag Zone, Centre Stage, and the new Street Party Stage hosted by The Queens Arms and cabaret venues.

Organizer Paul Kemp says this is shaping up to be their biggest, most inclusive and impactful year yet. Over £1.4 million has been raised to support LGBTQ+ charities via the Pride Social Impact Fund, Cultural Development Fund, and Solidarity Fund.
