Pride in London 2026: Parade applications now open ahead of event on Saturday, 4th July

Pride in London today announces that applications are now open for organisations looking to participate in this year’s highly-anticipated parade, to be held on Saturday, 4th July. 

Last year’s Pride in London event welcomed 1.7 million spectators, with over 30,000 participants in the celebrated Parade. Built on the values of Visibility, Unity, and Equality, the Pride in London Parade is a diverse, inclusive, and community-focused event that invites LGBTQ+ communities and allies to come together for a powerful day of advocacy, solidarity, and shared joy.

Applications are now open for established LGBTQ+ community groups, LGBTQ+ businesses, non-profits, unions, the public sector, and businesses wishing to march in the parade as part of one of the biggest days in the LGBT+ calendar. Application information and a registration link can be found at https://events.prideinlondon.org/parade2026.

Rebecca Paisis, interim CEO of Pride in London, said:

The Pride in London parade and event sees a range of LGBTQ+ community groups, businesses, partners and people from all walks of life come together to march - both in protest and in celebration - in the spirit of unity, equality and visibility. 

Last year’s event was one of our most impactful ever, and 2026 looks set to be just as spectacular. We warmly encourage anyone who is passionate about advocating for LGBTQ+ rights to apply to join this year’s parade.”

Pride in London also welcomes new partners and sponsors who share our commitment to LGBTQ+ advocacy. Interested companies and organisations can find out more about creating impactful, collaborative and community-focused partnerships for 2025 by contacting [email protected].
