Parade

Pride is a protest. Watch our fabulous demonstration of LGBTQ+ equality, progress + a fight for our rights.

Line the high street from 11:00am on Saturday!

Parade

 

Line the high street + cheer on our parade, featuring live music, flag waving, banner holding, whistle blowing + a carnival atmosphere! The procession will feature many local organisations + groups, plus some extra special characters to keep an eye out for! Taking part in the parade is by pre-registration only, so if you are not registered to walk in the parade, please enjoy the parade as it passes through the Canterbury High Street.

Everyone is welcome to watch the parade without pre-registering. Line the high street from 11:00, wave your flags and banners, and cheer on the parade! Please leave a sensible gap for the parade procession to pass.

The parade proceeds from Westgate Towers, along the high street, turning left onto Longmarket, left onto Burgate, via Sunstreet, left onto Sun Yard, left onto Guildhall Street, then right onto the high street to Westgate Gardens.
