Summer solstice date for this year's CI Pride

This year's Channel Islands Pride will take place in Jersey on 21 June.

Organisers have announced the 10th anniversary celebrations will be held on the summer solstice - the longest day of the year - 'to shine an even brighter light on equality, inclusion and love'.

The theme is 'Louder, Prouder, Stronger.'

Christian May, Director of Channel Islands Pride in Jersey since its inception in 2015, said:

“When we held the very first Channel Islands Pride in 2015, we had no idea just how much it would grow in a decade, both here in Jersey, and in Guernsey.

"What began as a small but determined march has become a vibrant, inclusive celebration that brings together thousands of people from across our Islands and beyond.

"As we mark ten years of Pride, it’s a moment to reflect on the progress we've made – not just in visibility, but in building a stronger, more united LGBTQ+ community here in the Channel Islands.

"But it’s also a moment to acknowledge the challenges we continue to face, both locally and globally.

"This year’s theme – ‘Louder, Prouder, Stronger’ – is a celebration of our collective voice, identity, and resilience. It’s a tribute to everyone who has marched, spoken up, and stood tall over the past decade, and a call to action for those ready to carry that torch forward."

CI Pride 2025 will include the Pride Parade through St Helier, and Pride Village at People's Park, with the line up of acts to be announced soon.
