Save the date! Margate Pride returns for its' annual celebration
10am - 11pm
A full day of grassroots Pride: completely free, community-led, and corporate-free. Join Margate Pride for a joyful and powerful celebration of LGBTQIA+ life, love, protest, and pride across Margate.
This year, all of the free events will be hosted on outsavvy, making it easy for you to register and take part in as much or as little as you like — whether you’re coming for the march, the music, the drag, or just to soak up the vibes.
