Liverpool Pride 2023 has been cancelled by the LCR Pride Foundation due to significant financial and organizational challenges, pivoting the event to a volunteer-led operation. The decision was made after the board assessed rising costs and difficulties in securing funding. Although Liverpool Pride will not occur this year, the foundation aims to promote regional Pride events and is focusing on building a sustainable foundation for future celebrations. They are seeking new trustees and expect to return in 2026 following last year's record attendance of 60,000 participants.
The LCR Pride Foundation announced the cancellation of Liverpool Pride this year, citing significant financial and organisational challenges that have hindered operations.
Our priority now is to ensure that we have a sustainable foundation. This decision comes after rising costs and challenges in securing funding.
Despite the cancellation, the board intends to promote other regional Pride events taking place over the same weekend, in support of the community.
Last year’s event, which drew 60,000 attendees, reflects the importance of solidarity with global LGBTQ+ struggles, like those faced by Kyiv Pride.
