York Pride 2024

York Pride 2024, taking place on June 1st, stands out as North Yorkshire's largest LGBTQ+ celebration. The event features a parade starting from York Minster and leading to a festival at the Knavesmire with free entry for all attendees. This year, the "Angels of the North," stars from RuPaul's Drag Race UK Series 5, will headline the event. York Pride is organized entirely by volunteers and supports local causes, enhancing its community impact. It invites everyone to participate, volunteer, and enjoy the vibrant festivities aimed at promoting inclusivity and equality.

York doesn't have any dedicated gay bars so the annual Pride event is a big moment for the city.
