UK Black Pride 2024
For the third year, UK Black Pride returns to Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park for its annual event
On August 11 2024, UK Black Pride brings the community together for a party and protest at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, London. Now officially the world’s largest celebration for LGBTQI+ people of African, Asian, Caribbean, Latin American and Middle Eastern, the event will see a range of performances, talks, community stalls and workshops.
The world’s largest pride celebration for LGBTQI+ people of African, Asian, Caribbean, Latin American and Middle Eastern-descent has continued to grow year-on-year. From a bus-load of attendees travelling to Southend-on-Sea to 10,000 people in Haggerston Park, UK Black Pride is proud to return to Newham, the largest space the organisation has occupied since its inception.
UK Black Pride CEO Phyll Opoku-Gyimah says, “it is with such joy that we can announce our return to Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park for the third year running. It is slowly becoming a great home for our event as we grow bigger and bigger. As we reflect on previous years, we are planning to make this the biggest and the boldest UK Black Pride yet. We are working on the theme for this year and it is going to be a powerful one”.
The application for performers, community stall-holders, food and drink vendors and workshop hosts will be open soon. A separate announcement will be made with the theme of this year's event.
