Following an exceptional and record-breaking year, Brighton Pride in 2016 will be held from Friday, August 5 – Sunday, August 7, 2016.
Pride’s campaigning theme in 2016 will be Uniting Nations, reflecting Brighton Pride’s ongoing commitment to campaigning for global LGBT+ rights.
2015 was a record year for fundraising with £100,000 raised for community good causes and 200,000 people enjoying the biggest community parade to date.
Pride Director, Paul Kemp, said: “Pride has evolved over the years with more communities coming together to celebrate every aspect of our city, regardless of sexuality, race, gender, age or ability. It’s important not to go back to theme’s that trivialise the important message behind the Pride Celebration and to highlight the lives and struggles of LGBT+ people across the world as we strive for equality for all”
“Carnival Of Diversity remains as the main Parade theme, with Uniting Nations being the 2016 campaigning theme reflecting the wonderful diversity of global communities with all the colour and vibrancy of Carnival.
“It is a chance to celebrate the uniqueness of Brighton & Hove and the diversity and inclusivity of Pride in our City”
2016 Carnival of Diversity: Uniting Nations will bring locals and visitors together for a Pride with purpose to celebrate, connect, campaign and fundraise together in spectacular style.
Pride in Brighton & Hove 2016. Uniting nations, uniting communities and uniting each other in a spectacular and unique Carnival Of Diversity.
