Foyle Pride is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2013. The first incarnation of Foyle Gay Pride kicked off in 1993 when a small group of committed activists decided it was time to make a visible stand and show the city that there was a thriving community that was being ignored and the wider community was not aware existed.
A celebration of the LGBT community, Foyle Pride is one of the most significant events in Derry~Londonderry’s cultural calendar, attracting thousands of people to the range of music events, exhibitions, theatre productions, lectures and discussions, enhancing Derry~Londonderry’s reputation as an enjoyable, welcoming and safe place.
The Foyle Pride Parade itself is a spectacular and colourful event, its carnival atmosphere creating a fantastic day out for all the family on the August bank holiday weekend.
