About Us

Margate Pride is a community-led celebration of LGBTQIA+ life, creativity, and activism. We bring people together through diverse events—from parades and art trails to social gatherings and advocacy platforms—championing inclusivity and fostering meaningful connections. Proudly grassroots and non-profit, we rely on community support to create free, accessible events that inspire and empower all.
