York Pride set to be 'biggest yet' - organisers
York Pride/Milner CreativeYork Pride organisers say they are expecting this year's event to be its "biggest yet".
More than 17,500 people attended the annual one-day festival in 2024, with it billed as "North Yorkshire's largest LGBTQ+ celebration".
Saturday's York Pride 2025 features a new parade route with a changed start location.
Following the parade through the city, the Knavesmire is hosting a range of musical performances and stalls.
Where is York Pride taking place?
York Pride 2025 begins with the parade, starting on Parliament Street in York city centre.
Previous events have started by York Minster, but organisers have updated the start position to be inside the counter terrorism bollards.
This move is to "keep the assembly of the parade as secure as possible", organisers said.
The parade takes in sections of Davygate, St Helen's Square, Coney Street, Spurriergate, Bridge Street, Skeldergate, Bishopgate Street, Bishopthorpe Road, Campleshon Road and Knavesmire Road before ending up on the Knavesmire.
The festival takes place on the Knavesmire, close to York Racecourse.
What time does it start?
The parade sets off from Parliament Street at 11:45 BST and is due to arrive at the Knavesmire between 13:00 and 13:30.
Organisers say anyone taking part in the parade should assemble between 11:00 and 11:40.
The festival at the Knavesmire will run from 11:30 until 19:00, with the site featuring food and drink stalls along with entertainment and live acts.
What road closures are there?
Roads around the parade route in the city will be closed while the parade takes place.
Additionally, Church Street will be closed from 10:30 until 13:30 and St Helen's Square will be shut between 11:30 and 13:30.
Where can I get tickets and how much do they cost?
York Pride is a free event with no ticket required.
Anyone who wants to join the parade can also do so without a ticket.

The Cheeky Girls, Kerry Ellis and tribute act Pet Shop Boys, Actually, will also be entertaining crowds.
Who can attend York Pride?
York Pride is a family-friendly event and is open to anyone, its organisers said.
Dogs are also welcome to attend as long as they are kept on a lead.
"Rain or shine, York Pride is a celebration of love, equality, and visibility - and nothing can dampen that spirit," the event said.
"We're incredibly proud to be bringing the LGBT+ community and City of York together once again for a vibrant, inclusive day of joy and solidarity.
"Whether you're walking in the parade, cheering from the sidelines or enjoying the main festival, we promise an unforgettable experience."
