July is practically here, so it can only mean one thing: Glasgow’s Pride is coming up. In 2023, Glasgow saw the largest Pride march in history, meaning we have to step up even more this year. With Pride Edinburgh just gone on June 22, now it’s Glasgow’s turn to show Scotland how it’s done. So, we’ve put everything into one place so everyone can be in the loop of what’s happening for Pride this year.
When is Glasgow Pride 2024?
Glasgow’s Pride is happening on July 20 this year starting at 12pm and going into the late hours of the night with events happening around the city.
The march
Every year the Pride March kicks off at Glasgow Green, starting at midday. Individuals and groups of up to nine people without banners go free, while people with banners or placards, groups of ten or more, commercial organisations and people with vehicles need to register on the Glasgow’s Pride website.
Pride events
Starting at 2pm, Pride-goers can make their way to the Barrowland Ballroom, where two stages and the legendary market for a full day of family-friendly entertainment and over 100 market stalls will continue the celebrations with a free event also spanning across BAaD and the Barras Market. The event is set to end at 8pm.
Glasgow’s Pride Chairperson Stuart McPhail said: “We can’t wait to welcome everyone to Glasgow’s Pride on Saturday, July 20 2024. We are delighted to have joined forces with the iconic Glasgow venue that is Barrowlands and know that this year’s event will be bristling with fun and entertainment for everyone as well as celebrating the diversity and inclusiveness of Glasgow.”
DILF UK – Glasgow’s Pride Special is also inviting guests for a party into the late hours of the night until 3am at Slay Glasgow. Revolution on Mitchell Street will also host a Pride Afterparty with DJs and performances, while The Barrowlands Ballroom on 244 Gallowgate will host a stellar line-up of acts, such as drag, live bands, samba drummers and choirs as well as stalls, face painting and family activities.
