30+ loud and proud photos of Brummies preparing for Birmingham Pride 2019

As Birmingham Pride fast approaches this Bank Holiday Weekend, preparations are well and truly underway to welcome visitors to the city. In fitting with the UK’s largest two-day LGBTQ+ celebrations, a cascade of rainbows have enveloped Brum.

Community groups, businesses and bars have all adopted the iconic rainbow palette as excitement builds for this years ‘Love out Loud‘ themed festival.

Taking place over Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th May, Birmingham Pride 2019 will officially kick off from Victoria Square with a parade that will snake its way through the city centre before entering the iconic Gay Quarter. Celebrations and entertainment are expected to continue throughout the weekend.
