Belfast Pride is a ten-day festival in late July, building to a free parade and party at Custom House Square. Here's how 2026 ran, what we expect for 2027, and where to go afterwards.

Belfast's gay bars, street by street: Union Street Bar and The Maverick on Union Street, Kremlin and Boombox on Donegall Street, and Outside Sauna on Donegall Lane, all in the Cathedral Quarter.
