Tens of thousands of party revellers set upon central Birmingham this Bank Holiday Weekend for the city’s annual Pride event, as organisers announced record-breaking attendance for the UK’s biggest two-day LGBTQ+ festival.

Starting with a parade and continuing with a massive street festival along Hurst Street in Southside, Birmingham Pride has been awash with colour as rainbow themed flags and floats have lined the streets, kicking off the inclusive family-friendly festivities.

Adopting the theme of ‘Be You’ this year, over 130 different organisations have been taking part in the parade and follow-up mardi gras style celebrations, including community groups, trade unions, corporate partners, political parties and individual ‘Gay scene’ personalities.

While there’s a whole ton of photos and videos yet to come, especially in our upcoming galleries and on our social media platforms, here’s an initial preview of 10 images of revellers enjoying sunny Saturday, the first day of Birmingham Pride:
