It is one of the biggest and brightest events in Brighton & Hove’s calendar, with over 300,000 people thronging the city’s streets to participate in and watch the parade of community and campaign groups, and the all-singing, all-dancing carnival of colour as it wends its way from Hove Lawns to Preston Park for We Are Fabuloso, the official Brighton & Hove Pride charity fundraiser.

Described by The Guardian as “the country’s most popular LGBT+ event”, WE ARE FABULOSO supported by yahoo! will run over two days with a main stage featuring world class artists including Christina Aguilera, Ella Henderson, Todrick Hall, Raye, Bimini and L Devine on Saturday 6August, followed by Paloma Faith, Jake Shears, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Cat Burns and Björn Again on Sunday 7August.
