Glasgow Pride 2026

Glasgow Pride is Scotland's largest LGBTQ+ Pride event and one of the biggest in the UK outside London, drawing over 40,000 people through the city in July. The event is free to attend, with a parade through the city centre and a festival area in Merchant City. Glasgow Pride carries the working-class, politically engaged character of the city: loud, warm, and rooted in genuine community. Official events include the parade, a main stage with live performances, club nights at AXM and Polo Lounge, and programming across Merchant City's Gay Village venues. Drag performers with national profiles from RuPaul's Drag Race UK appear at Pride events, reflecting Glasgow's strong drag culture.
