The Gay Village Party is the definition of queer joy, and Manchester Pride is proud to present a diverse, unmissable line-up of LGBTQ+ performers and world-famous talent to the city for the community to enjoy! The Gay Village Party gives queer talent a vital platform and raises donations for the Manchester Pride Community Fund, the Manchester Pride Charity’s Grants programme that exists to benefit local LGBTQ+ good causes and projects year-round.

Manchester Pride campaigns for LGBTQ+ equality; celebrates LGBTQ+ life and creates opportunities that engage LGBT+ people so that they can thrive. Taking place across the full August Bank Holiday weekend, the Manchester Pride Festival hosts a variety of events, some free to attend and others require you to purchase a ticket. You're never too young to celebrate Pride, and we wanted to ensure families could take advantage of the festivities at Manchester Pride Festival.
