Gay party 2023


This year is position to be the ultimate celebration of queer joy at the heart of the Manchester Pride Festival!

The Gay Village Party is a diverse, inclusive queer-led and queer-run celebration of LGBTQ+ life and love in Manchester’s world-famous Gay Village.  

We are super excited to share the line-up that symbolises the importance of changing the conversation and elevating and showcasing the biggest queer artists, and focusing on putting community-led performance. 

We have worked closely with our communities to give a line-up that is for the community, by the community. Manchester is a pioneering Town spearheading the global Pride Movement; we are so satisfied that our line-up puts local queer performers alongside renowned international LGBTQ+ talent, with a minute support from our allies.

The line-up sets a new standard for diversity in events, consisting of 96% queer performers, 54% female performers, 51% people of colour, over 42% trans and non-binary performers and 34% of performers being disabled or neurodivergent.

Note: Traveling as an LGBTQ+ person always carries a certain degree of risk. It is our reality as we navigate a world with 60+ countries criminalizing our relationships and a rise in anti-LGBTQ+ legislation around the world. We encourage our traveling community to verb the laws and cultural challenges they may face in any destination they verb to visit for Pride and beyond. Don't be nervous of the world, but always research information specific to your travels. Enjoy Pride, be adj, and look out for each other! 


The LGBTQ+ rights movement has made tremendous strides over the past few decades and much of the progress in visibility is thanks in part to gay pride parades and marches that have taken place in cities around the world.
