SOCIAL COHESION & ECONOMIC IMPACT
Pride provides a citywide cohesion and focus for the wider community with its positive influence lasting long thought out the year. The very nature of Pride being an immersive and inclusive celebration builds lasting community capital that is difficult to measure, but easy to see. What is easy to measure is the money generated by Pride, not only from ticket sales to the Festival on Preston Park, but also across all businesses in Brighton & Hove as the City’s single largest event.
