Dundee Pride 2025: All you need to know including parade route, line-up and weather

Thousands of people are expected to enjoy Dundee Pride this weekend – and we have all you need to know ahead of the celebrations.

The 2025 event takes place on Saturday June 14 to honour the city’s LGBTQ+ community.

As well as the annual Pride march and performances across three stages in Slessor Gardens, there will be stalls and workshops.

Last year’s event was enjoyed by huge crowds who added plenty of colour to the city centre.

Dundee Pride 2025 parade route

The event will kick off with a parade through the city centre on Saturday morning.

Those taking part in the parade are asked to gather at the Steeple Church, next to the Overgate, from 10am.

The parade will make its way past City Square, up Reform Street, past The McManus towards the Wellgate, and down Murraygate and Castle Street before ending at Slessor Gardens, where the event will continue throughout the afternoon.

Groups must register their participation on the Dundee Pride website.

Who is on the line-up for this year’s event?

This year’s event will be headlined by Cheryl Hole, who appeared in the first series of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, along with singer and actress Claire Sweeney.

Performers will appear on three stages – the main stage, the queer stage and the dance tent.
