Tomorrow (Saturday), Ryde will burst into colour as Isle of Wight Pride returns for its annual celebration of love, equality, and community.
Beginning at 11am, the Pride Parade sets off from Ryde School, winding through Union Street and culminating at the newly relocated Pride Community Village at the Superbowl and Pavilion Bar.
Despite financial challenges and a 70 per cent drop in income, organisers remain undeterred.
From 11am to 7pm, free entertainment will light up the Pavilion Bar, hosted by Terry James. Expect more dazzling performances from Cherry Liquor, Don One, Dawn the Drag Queen, and a Rihanna tribute act, alongside the Solent Gay Men’s Chorus and DJ Omar.
The evening shifts to The Balcony nightclub for a ticketed over-18s event featuring N-Trance (DJ set), La Voix, Rozalla, Quivers, and Spice Girls tribute band Say You’ll Be Spice.
Whether marching, dancing, or simply soaking in the joy, Isle of Wight Pride 2025 promises a powerful celebration of identity, resilience, and love. The rainbow flags will fly high.
