Glasgow Pride 2022: when is LGBTQ+ parade, where is celebration taking place - and other events in the city

Glasgow is home to Scotland’s largest Pride event, and it is confirmed to return for 2022.

Pride is a worldwide celebration with countries across the globe putting on special events and seeing communities come together in solidarity to celebrate and make a stand against discrimination.

Pride is a chance to celebrate what it means to be a part of the LGBT+ community, as a community, and remember those who paved the way.

This year’s celebration is a significant year for the Pride movement and the LGBT+ community as we commemorate 50 Years since the first Pride took place in the United Kingdom.
