Welcome to Blackburn Pride

On Saturday 18th June 2022, we hosted our first Official Blackburn Pride to champion inclusivity, empowerment, and togetherness. As promised, our event was a safe space for all.
 
We celebrated Blackburn, both past and present, and especially those that have been monumental in pushing for LGBTQ+ rights. The event was free to enter and indeed approximately 1000 people did just that, and featured a range of local entertainment, activities and stalls for all to enjoy.
 
Following on from the tremendus sucess of our first pride and the sucess too of our event this year we have decided to do it all again on for a third year on Saturday 15th June 2024 at the Town Hall Square.

We are now hoping that this will become a fixed annual event in the borough’s social calendar.
