All you need to know about Peterborough Pride parade and street party

The parade, last seen in the city in 2019, gets under way at 12:30pm at the Key Theatre. Led by Embrace Events this is a chance to walk together as a community and will end with a street party at Cathedral Square.

The street party, from 1:30pm-6pm, will be a showcase for fantastic LGBTQIA+ performers from across the country – from cabaret and Jamaican dancehall, to comedy, drag and performance!

Peterborough’s Teddi The Drag Queen will be compering the main stage for Peterborough Pride for the first time. Also hosting is Ritzy Crackers – the city’s long-standing resident Queen of Camp and hostess of Embrace Events, who has been on the scene for over 25years, and Ed. G. Teen.

message of equality, social-justice and love.
