Brighton Pride
Rainbow Flags Galore (early-Aug)
Brighton hosts one of the largest Pride celebrations in the country and takes place on the first Saturday each August.
A flamboyant parade snakes through the streets of the city followed by a huge party at Preston Park.
In past years, such pop luminaries as the Pet Shop Boys, Britney Spears and Kylie Minogue have headlined. The action then transfers to Kemptown, where a street party continues for the duration of the weekend.
