These closures will be managed by Police Scotland and are designed to affect only a small number of roads at any one time. The parade may take up to 1.5 hours to pass, so please allow extra time for travel and expect some delays in the area.
"Loud Music: You can expect loud music during the parade and within the Pride Village at Howden Park. Music will be played between 10:00 AM and 8:00 PM, especially in the Howden Park area. All actives in the area will be finished by 11pm.
