    The parade down Blackpool promenade took place last year and featured several of Blackpool's pride sponsors and supporters.

    This year's parade will take place on the 8th June 2024, down Blackpool's iconic golden mile, stretching from the Grosvenor Casino north to Princess Parade where the main festivities will take place. 

    The parade will feature numerous businesses including bars, clubs and restaurants, plus schools, with the theme of the year being 'Together We Are Strong'. 

    Organisers are encouraging the businesses that have entered to dress their vehicles up in the pride theme and to 'let the pride flag fly'. 

    Applications are still open for people to enter their businesses or charitable organisations via the Pride website. 

    This year's pride event will take place on the 8th and 9th June on Princess Parade, with headliners including Natasha Hamilton from Atomic Kitten, The Cheeky Girls and Deeper Shade of Blue; plus names from the pride communities, such as Baga Chipz and Alexis Saint Pete.
