Apart from them, eight other stages available there will also host several celebrities, including Ella Henderson, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, and Bjorn Again. Besides them, more than 100 artists from the LGBTQ+ community will be part of the event.

Brighton had organized its first Gay Pride march in 1973. The first-ever Brighten Gay Pride march was held one year after Pride in London's parade, which was organized in 1972. However, the first-ever full Brighten Pride festival was celebrated in 1991.

Both the events - Brighton and Hove Pride - are crucial for campaigning and fundraising for the projects vital for the LGBTQ+ community.
