Events on week 23 February - 1 March, 2026

It starts as a heartbeat — one that’s echoed through this city since 1978.

Then the bass drops: the roar of the crowd, the thunder of the Dykes on Bikes, the shimmer of sequins under streetlights. From that first rev to the final float, you can feel it rising — an energy that’s wild, defiant, and beautifully alive.

International Wheelchair Day is always the 1st of March. It is an annual day of events and activities around the World when wheelchair users celebrate the positive impact a wheelchair has on their lives.
