Hampshire Pride

Hampshire Pride is the volunteer group that has organised Northampton's annual Pride since 2023, taking over from the former Noho Pride. The event is usually held in early May, with a parade along Main Street followed by a festival with stages, vendors and community tables. Northampton has long had a large lesbian and queer population, and its LGBTQ+ life is spread across downtown rather than concentrated in one district. Dates and the route change each year, so check hampshirepridema.com.
