Over 70,000 people engaged with the joy of Pride during this year’s festival, which returned to the heart of the city centre with its message of being ‘unapologetically visible’. 

Newcastle Pride is getting ready to welcome thousands of festivalgoers across the city centre for a weekend of celebrations (19 and 20 July).  Building on the success of last year’s event, which moved into the heart of Newcastle and saw record numbers with over 82,000 people engaging with the joy of pride, exciting new additions have been introduced for 2025. 

Newcastle Pride announces that this year’s Pride march will be proudly dedicated to the trans+ community, offering a message of hope, solidarity, and a call to action to end discrimination and challenge the rolling back of hard-fought rights for the trans, non-binary, and gender-diverse community.
