About the event
Sparkle – The National Transgender Celebration 2026
Friday 26th – Sunday 28th June 2026
Sackville Gardens, Manchester
Join us for a weekend of visibility, joy, and community at Sparkle 2026, the world’s largest free celebration of gender diversity.
Across three incredible days in the heart of Manchester’s Gay Village, we’ll come together to uplift and empower trans, non-binary, and gender-diverse people — with live music, community stalls, talks, wellness spaces, family activities, and a vibrant marketplace showcasing our brilliant community.
From the Sparkle Stage to the Family & Youth Zone, from wellbeing sessions to late-night parties, Sparkle 2026 is a proud reminder that our community shines brightest when we stand together.
