York Pride

Join OutdoorLads at York Pride!
Pride day gets off to a fabulous start with the Parade March from York Minster, through the streets of York city centre to the Festival site on the Knavesmire. Celebrate diversity and inclusion with us as we march through the vibrant streets of York for one of the North’s most colourful and welcoming Pride events. Whether you're a regular or new to OutdoorLads, come along, show your pride, and enjoy a fun day of community, visibility, and adventure. All are welcome—let’s make it a day to remember! York Pride Parade is one of the longest in the country at 2.4 miles, and takes around 60-90 minutes to complete, so please wear appropriate comfortable footwear.

The parade ends at the Pride Festival site on Knavesmere, where you will be free to do what you want. There will be live entertainment on the Main Stage, a Cabaret Stage that has numerous local acts and usually some celebrity to headline with going on until about 7.00pm, Pride Market stall, plenty of food and drink vendors and even a fun fair. You can also bring your own food and drink if you want to make a picnic of it. It is a free event, but you can support it by buying a wristband.

There are usually a couple of after parties in the town centre and even a club night if you're up to it. (I probably won't stay after about 5.30pm, but I expect it'll be fairly busy in town ). More information can be found on York Pride website and FB pages.

 From the Knavesmire it's just 15 minutes walk back to York station.
