Castle Park to the harbourside
Castle Park, Bristol BS1The free Bristol Pride Parade March on the morning of Pride Day. In 2026 it gathered from 10:30am in Castle Park by St Peter's Church and set off at 11am, walking about 2 miles to the Amphitheatre on the harbourside, where shuttle buses run up to The Downs. It's a walking parade with no floats or vehicles, and anyone can join. Times follow the 2026 programme and will be confirmed when the organisers publish the 2027 schedule.
