Birmingham's Gay Village on Hurst Street is the UK's largest two-day LGBTQ+ festival site, with Birmingham Pride drawing over 75,000 people to the parade each May. The village features Sidewalk, The Loft, Missing Bar, Nightingale Club, and The Village Inn; the area has expanded from just two venues in the 1980s to a thriving nightlife district with drag, cabaret, and dance clubs.
