Preston Pride fills the Flag Market, the open square in front of the Harris Museum at the top of Fishergate. It has run since 2012 and is the main LGBTQ+ event in Lancashire.
The square holds a main stage with live music and performances, and a market of information stands and stalls taken by community groups, charities and local services. Preston Pride's Got Talent is a fixture of the day.
Because the Flag Market sits in the middle of the shopping streets rather than on a fenced site, a good part of the crowd is people who were passing and stopped. Groups who want a stall or want to take part rather than just attend register with the organiser beforehand.
