Brighton Pride

Brighton and Hove Pride is an annual LGBT pride event held in the city of Brighton and Hove, England, organised by Brighton Pride, a community interest company (CIC) which promotes equality and diversity, and advances education to eliminate discrimination against the lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBTQ) community. The major event is an annual summer festival held in the first week of August, which usually consists of a parade through the city centre, a festival event in Preston Park, the Gay Village party and other club parties. Since 2013, it has also included an arts and film festival and a Pride dog show. Pride attracts an estimated 500,000 people to the city over the Pride weekend across the Pride parade, Pride in the Park festival, and related events. Pride brings 2% of the city's annual visitors in one day and an estimated £30.5 million to the city's economy, credited as one of the main ways Brighton has boosted its economy from tourism.
