Pride in Liverpool to return for 'biggest year yet'

Pride in Liverpool has confirmed it will be returning in 2024.

What is expected to be the biggest March with Pride since LCR Pride Foundation’s inception in 2019, tens of thousands of people are set to enjoy a weekend of celebration and protest.

A record-breaking 20,000 people joined the march last year - up 5,000 compared to the year before. The march was held jointly with KyivPride in solidarity with Ukraine and the theme, ‘Shout It Loud’, encouraged local LGBTQ+ people to be proud of their identities.

This year, the event will be held on Saturday, July 27, with the planned route starting at St George’s Hall Plateau at 12pm. The procession will then move through the city centre and the Pride Quarter before making its way to the Waterfront.

Andi Herring, CEO of LCR Pride Foundation, said: “March With Pride continues to grow each year and this year promises to be no different. We look forward to welcoming thousands of LGBT+ people and allies to the city for what is looking to be our biggest year yet.

“Not only is it a chance for Liverpool City Region’s LGBT+ people to come together to celebrate one another, but it also gives us the opportunity to protest against the prejudices and inequalities that our communities face.

“In the last year, LGBT+ people and particularly trans members of our community have been attacked and undermined. However, we refuse to be silenced and our voices need to be heard more than ever before. This is our time to stand up and peacefully demonstrate that we are united against all forms of hate, discrimination and oppression.”
