But if you're wondering where you'll go once the parade ends and music finishes, then think no more as we've got just the place for you.
Behind Closed Doors, Leeds' iconic adult-themed speakeasy on Call Lane are hosting pride afterparties all weekend long so you can keep dancing into the early hours.
Head on over to Behind Closed Doors for free entry as well as 2-4-1 cocktails if you show your wristband or say the word 'Pride'.
And to make it even better, £1 from each cocktail purchased over the weekend will go to a pride charity. Now how can you say no to that.

The drinking den will be open til 5am each night with vinyl DJs blasting the tunes til close, and the best part? You can bag yourself free shots with every drink purchased.
If that hasn't convinced you to text your group chat and get a night out sorted, then allow us to try and reel you in even more.
Behind Closed Doors, the self-professed ‘naughty’ bar that started over in Manchester, has taken Leeds by storm since its grand opening back in August last year.
Their ethos of Sex, Rugs & Funk ’n’ Soul means you'll find vintage erotica all over the walls, as well as retro phones on every table so you can ring your mates from across the room.
It's safe to say that this isn't just your average night out.
The drinks aren't average either, with a cheeky cocktail list featuring drinks like the Love Bite (pink gin, raspberry and cucumber slushie), Smoke my Sweet (a barrel stave smoked old fashioned) and Chocstar Martini (a chocolate espresso martini with whipped cream top).
There'll even be a pride cocktail menu for the weekend for you to get stuck into. And they don't just taste good, they all act as a great pop to snap a photo with too.

"After years of late nights, strong cocktails, and incredible stories; The Maven will close its doors"
It's a sad day for the Leeds night life scene, as a beloved speakeasy bar has today announced that it will be closing its doors for good.
The Maven has been a firm favourite for many years with those looking to enjoy some experimental and expertly made cocktails.
Hidden behind an unassuming door at the top of Call Lane, it was a great spot to visit if you were looking for something that little bit special.
Announcing the news to their social media, The Maven said: "From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for being our guests over the years and promise that until then, we'll do our best to give you the best nights out on Call Lane."
