Pride in Liverpool
Pride in Liverpool (formerly Liverpool Pride), is an annual festival of LGBT culture which takes place across various locations in Liverpool City Centre including the gay quarter. Audience numbers reach up to 75,000 people, making it one of the largest free Gay Pride festivals in Europe.
The event is always held on the closest weekend to 2 August, in commemoration of the death of Michael Causer, the young gay man who was murdered in the city in 2008.
Pride in Liverpool usually features a parade and march which sets off on the Saturday at St George's Hall, winding its way through the city centre and ending up at the main site of the festival. The parade itself attracts over 20,000 participants which excludes the spectators who observe along the route. Also included is a large open air festival featuring a number of stages, street stalls and street entertainment. More relaxed events usually follow on the Sunday which often include sports, arts and cultural events across the city.
Pride in Liverpool is organised by the LCR Pride Foundation, which champions the rights of LGBT people across the six districts of Halton, Knowsley, City of Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens and Wirral.
Pride in Liverpool was organised by the LCR Pride Foundation, a registered charity established in 2019. In 2025 the Foundation announced there would be no Pride Festival or march due to "financial and organisational challenges", in part as a result of their decision to end their partnership with Barclays.
On 1 July 2025, Sahir House announced a Pride event and celebrations would take place on 26 July 2025 and would be renamed 'Liverpool's Pride' 'because this pride belongs to all of us'. Sahir House is the city's oldest LGBTQ+ charity and the new Pride would be at a new venue with a new route.
Up until 2010, Liverpool was the largest British city to not hold a Pride and it took many years of campaigning to establish a stable and lasting celebration in the city.[citation needed] The campaign took a significant turning point in 2008 when the newly formed Liverpool LGBT Network voted that establishing a permanent Pride in the city would be one of its key priorities.[citation needed] At the height of Liverpool's year as European Capital of Culture, it was felt that staging a successful festival to rival those of other large UK cities was a realistic and attainable goal. Later in the year, the movement began to gather pace and was bolstered by a renewed sense of urgency and determination following the high-profile homophobic murder of Michael Causer on the outskirts of the city.
A motion in support of Liverpool Pride was approved by a full meeting of Liverpool City Council in 2009.
