Birmingham Pride is a three-day gay and lesbian festival held annually in the Gay Village, Hurst Street, Birmingham, England, over the Spring Bank Holiday weekend (i.e. preceding the last Monday in May).

Described by its organisers as the largest gay and lesbian event in the UK, it features a carnival parade through the city centre, with dance and musical events, funfair rides, a temporary village green, and street stalls and entertainments.

The parade is held on the Saturday, and is original in format, using shopping trolleys, not motorised floats.

Birmingham pride is a three day long festival, held over May Spring Bank holiday weekend, this year 27th-29th May. May 27th is to be held in Cannon Hill Park, with the remaining days being held as a street festival in the gay village. Cost for all 3 days is set to be £10
