The London Gay & Lesbian Pride and Mardi Gras consists of three main events - the Pride Parade, the Mardi Gras Arts Festival, and the Mardi Gras Festival. Details of these events are released in the run up to Mardi Gras, which is usually held in June or July. For the Pride Parade, London’s gay and lesbian community takes to the streets with a morning celebration of costumes, floats and music. The Mardi Gras Festival is then usually held in the afternoon in one of London’s bigger public venues with dance tents, stalls, a funfair, bars and many other attractions. Tickets for the Pride Parade can be bought by telephone: (0870) 1200 722.
