First Pride

Back to 1990s
The first Gay Pride march in Belfast took place in 1991 and was attended by approximately 100 people.

There was little funding, or support from spectators, but the march from the University of Ulster to Botanic Gardens went ahead and began to increase the visibility of the local LGBT community. Since then Belfast Pride has grown into a festival of events attended by thousands.
