Manchester Pride
  

This weekend, thousands of queer people and allies flocked to the UK for the Big Weekend, Manchester's Pride celebration. The festival took place in the city's Gay Village over the August Bank Holiday, and it included a parade, dance parties and performances from some of our favorite pop musicians.

The parade took place Saturday, led by the Greater Manchester Police in their celebratory rainbow police car. Clean Bandit, Melanie C, Pixie Lott and DJ Jodie Harsh took to the stages throughout the weekend and stuck around for a meet and greet with fans. Other events included a secret silent disco, a sing-along screening of Grease, and the HIV vigil.
