West Lothian Pride takes place on Saturday the 26th July 2025. West Lothian Pride was founded in 2015 by a group of the Glitter Cannons and local LGBTQI+ individuals who recognised the need for a Pride event in their community. The first event was held in July 2015 at Howden Park Centre in Livingston. It was a huge success and sparked the start of an annual tradition. In 2016 the event moved to a larger venue, the West Lothian College, and saw even more attendees and support from local businesses and organisations. Each year, the event continues to grow and evolve, with a diverse range of performers, speakers, and activities. We can’t wait to see you there as we celebrate 10 amazing years of West Lothian Pride. For a milestone celebration marking the 10th anniversary of West Lothian Pride, a vibrant, free, and inclusive event dedicated to supporting and uplifting the LGBTQI+ community and their allies in Livingston and beyond. Parade Assembly Time: 11:30 & starts @ 12:00. Join us as we march with pride through West Lothian, celebrating diversity, inclusion, and love.
