Manchester United may not be playing at Old Trafford during the August Bank Holiday weekend, but there's another big event taking place in the city.
Manchester Pride’s flagship event, The Big Weekend, will once again take place in and around the world-famous Gay Village on Canal Street, where tens of thousands of people will gather to watch a festival of live music from Friday to Monday and celebrate all things LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender).
Manchester Pride is a registered charity that campaigns for equality and challenges discrimination, creates opportunity for engagement and participation, and celebrates LGBT life.
