Statement from Pride Edinburgh
Dear Edinburgh, it is with sadness and heavy hearts that we must announce the cancellation of the Pride Edinburgh's physical event in 2021.
Discussions with the City Council, Scottish Government and event partners have concluded that the restrictions created by COVID-19 would make it impossible for us to run a safe event, especially when it draws over 15,000 people to the city every year.
While there will be no physical event, we are now working on a virtual event to celebrate Pride in the Capital, more information on our plans will be released soon. We are also opening the doors and recruiting new members to join our team, keep an eye on our website for updates on this.
We thank all our partners and sponsors and most of all the LGBTQI+ community of Edinburgh, Scotland and beyond, we know the Rainbow will always shine in our capital city.
