Birmingham Pride
May 1997 to May 2008
Birmingham hosted the first Birmingham Pride festival in 1997 and has held the event annually since. The first event was organised by a group of business and community volunteers called the Birmingham Triangle Committee
The roots of the event can be traced back to an event held at the Grosvenor House Hotel on the Hagley Road in the 1970s. The It's a Knockout event took place in its grounds. The fun day was a tournament between the Nightingale Club and the hosts and from this came the annual Five Days of Fun, first held in 1983 on the car park behind Partners (which became Enigma and now Glamourous).
