Pride in Luton brings the community together for the 5th Birthday of The Pride in Luton Festival

Pride in Luton is set to bring people from across the town together with a joyful programme of events designed to celebrate LGBTQIA+ lives, history, and culture. Local and national acts will take to the stage in The Hat District to entertain and unite Luton for a day of visibility and shared pride on Saturday, 13th June 2026.

This year’s programme builds on Pride in Luton’s commitment to creating inclusive spaces where everyone feels seen, valued, and welcome. With performances and family-friendly activities this event reflects the diversity and resilience of Luton’s LGBTQIA+ community and our dedication to equality and representation.

Karol Augustyn Co-Chair of Pride in Luton says, “Our community is full of creativity and courage and this day is a chance to celebrate all of it. We want our community to be seen and offer an opportunity for everyone to be themselves in a supportive and inclusive environment. The Pride in Luton Festival is about belonging, and everyone is invited whether you identify as LGBTQIA+ or you’re joining us as an ally.”

The Pride in Luton Festival couldn’t happen without the support of the brilliant businesses and corporations that call Luton home such as Luton Rising, The Culture Trust and Luton Point.
