The parade starts at 1pm with participants asked to assemble at Iceland car park at around 12pm.
Following the parade, Pride in the Park will take place in Lurgan Park from 1pm until 3pm.
Organisers say the family-friendly event will feature live music, a craft fare and a variety of food stalls. Further details on the entertainment programme are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
Celebrations will continue later in the day with a Drag Brunch at The Cellar Bar from 4.30pm until 7.30pm.
The official after-party will then be held at The Batcave, beginning at 8pm and continuing late into the evening.
Organisers have encouraged members of the LGBTQ+ community, allies, families and supporters to attend and take part in the celebrations.
More information on the event programme is expected to be released closer to the date.
Last year hundreds of people turned out for the Parade and Pride in the Park making it one of the most colourful and sparkling events of the the year.
Lurgan Pride is dedicated to fostering inclusivity and promoting equality within the Lurgan community, placing LGBTQIA+ people at the very heart of it. If you would like more information, check out their Facebook page here.
